SIM Anniversary Tag
An infinite loop is integrated in SIM’s 60th anniversary tag (SIM60 tag) to highlight our ceaseless pursuit in fostering lifelong learning and bringing about social impact. The tag symbolises our lasting heritage and unchanging commitment towards learners.
SIM has grown in tandem with Singapore, responding and innovating to meet manpower needs at different phases of its development, into becoming a leading private institution for education and lifelong learning.
The Singapore Institute of Management (SIM Group) was founded in 1964 on the initiative of the Economic Development Board (EDB) to support Singapore’s industrialisation. A professional management institute was set up and Dr Richard Eu Keng Mun was invited to be our Founding Chairman.
We started with the social mission of advancing management excellence and developing manpower in support of Singapore’s growing need for professional leadership and managerial know-how. Today, we are reputed for our commitment to a high standard of professionalism and quality, and relevance to industry.
Whatever your background, stage of life and learning need, we are committed to nurturing the lifelong achiever in you. Our carefully tailored programmes and services empower you to define your own peak of success and how you want to scale that peak.
Our close partnership with industry leaders, as well as our academic programmes, skills-based courses and diverse networks equip individuals and enterprises for a fast-changing world.
