The Faculty of Design successfully conducted two 15-week certificate courses in 2013 for female inmates in the Changi Women’s Prison. They equipped the inmates with basic design skills that they can use to find employment upon release.
Said Nur Hidayah, Dean, Faculty of Design, “The course will now be undergoing review for a more advanced programme. Take-up has been positive, and the inmates have found it beneficial.” This programme follows the successful implementation of a certificate course by the Faculty of Fine Arts for male inmates, launched in 2009.
