Past event | Go Global with Local Talents

In today’s volatile global landscape, developing a globally minded workforce isn’t a luxury—it’s a must.

On June 2025, participants came together to gain actionable insights on global talent mobility, and they left inspired by the dynamic presentations and meaningful interactions. A big thank you to Workforce Singapore and Expat Advising for their valuable support in making this session a success!
