Career boost for Nafa grads
KEEN to be a dancer, musician or actor?
Such career options in the arts and entertainment industries
look good for graduates of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Nafa),
with the completion of the two integrated resorts (IRs) in Marina
Bay and Sentosa by 2011.
This was noted on Saturday by Dr Ng Eng Hen who mentioned, for
example, the need of Universal Studios - a draw in the Sentosa IR -
for people for its show productions.
Wanted too are talent to manage shows and events, and provide
technical support.
Dr Ng, Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence,
was speaking at a graduation ceremony held at the Singapore
Conference Hall for 689 graduates of Nafa's diploma and degree
courses.
Another career boost, he added, will come via the opening of the
National Art Gallery at the former Supreme Court and City Hall
buildings in 2013.
It will benefit Nafa graduates in fine art and arts management
(visual arts).
Dr Ng also praised Nafa for 'maintaining academic standards and
administrative procedures, while demonstrating robust financial
health and accountability'.
They should give me a distinction for taking a significantly
different career path. Hey, i dare to dream ok.
