Appreciation from our Client Partners
“This segment of the programme was eye opening, especially the resilience trails which led me to question some of my own assumptions and thinking about how government policies impact people on the ground. It also gave me new perspective and insights about leveraging on the inherent strengths and gifts that each and every individual in the community has.”

Social Sector Milestone Programme 2024
“The experience was awesome! I faced some challenges during the planning and funding processes. Skillseed has been most helpful in assisting to source for alternative options to make the workshop possible. None of the vendors I had worked with is as proactive and engaging as Skillseed. They sought to understand my challenges and I am most grateful for their positive encouragement along the way which helped me to persevered and make the workshop happen at the end.”
— Irene Tan, MINDEF
“ It allowed me to have an ethereal experience that I would not have seen in Singapore; the programmes and the company we experienced during the trip were also top tier and contributed towards an overall satisfactory trip that I would gladly go again in a heartbeat.”
— Bryan, SMU Pathfinders 2022
