Introduction

In NYP, innovation is defined as the translation of knowledge and technologies into creating value and satisfaction for customers in the form of newer and better products and services. Being innovative adds value to our graduates' education and training, gives them the extra edge and ultimately increases their employ- ability.

These are the challenges and the drivers of innovation at NYP – the need to provide training that employers value in our graduates; the need to form value-adding and win-win partnerships with industry leaders; the need to provide an authentic, up-to-date, practice oriented training environment in the face of rapid technology advancement and equipment obsolescence; the need to attract staff with sound theoretical knowledge and practical experience and ensure they keep up with developments in their respective disciplines and industry sectors.

Our senior management takes the lead in developing the innovative capability of the polytechnic. Our founding PCEO, Mr Lin Cheng Ton, is a pioneer in policy making, strategy and technical manpower development. He and the senior management team have shaped NYP’s culture and created the distinctive polytechnic that we are today, through the guiding principles of NYP++ Model for Excellence and the deployment framework of Innovation Everywhere. This is closely aligned to NYP’s mission of providing quality education and delivering industry services to meet Singapore’s economic needs.

At NYP, we nurture and develop a robust culture built on people with pioneering and dare to dream spirit, coupled with the vision and ability to turn ideas into reality unique teaching and learning concepts relevant to the real world environment and continuously expand on its concepts for present day relevance organizational capacity and staff capability by pooling resources and through staff development excellent industry and international connections
