📜🔍 Understanding Your Employment Rights

Whether you're a full-time employee, a part-timer, or self-employed, understanding your rights in the workplace is crucial. While some aspects may not directly apply to the self-employed, this knowledge remains beneficial, especially if you consider taking on part-time or short-term contract work in the future. We encourage everyone to familiarise themselves with the available resources, such as the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM) for resolving disputes and recovering unpaid salaries. For more detailed information, please refer to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) post on this topic. Remember, being informed is your first step towards a fair and positive work environment.

Masterclass | Cultural Entrepreneurship: Insights from around the world
Date: Thursday 17 October 2024
Time: 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: Lecture Theatre, Block F Level 2 #F202

The masterclass will help students (potential cultural entrepreneurs) think about and navigate often missed critical success factors including authenticity, community relevance, networking, collaboration, trust and leadership by reflecting on inspiring stories from across the globe and spanning the spectrum of formality and informality. This spectrum has universal significance in relation to the precarious nature of careers, the fast-paced, fluid environments in which companies operate, and the patchwork of contract, self-employment, and enterprise development experienced by creative entrepreneurs in the global labour market.
