Singbound is an interactive workshop developed by CS Mobility for people relocating to work and live in Singapore. Tailored for newly arrived Employment Pass holders and their family, Singbound provides you with the practical, cultural and emotional knowledge you need to begin your new life.
During our Singbound Programme, understand Singapore through local eyes. Our trained consultants will share their love and knowledge of the city and prepare you for the adventure ahead. Doing more than just helping you settle in, our consultants will show you how to fully experience the diverse society you will become a close part of.
You already have the professional skills for your new role in Singapore, so why not acquire local life skills from Singbound to make your time in Singapore even more successful and fulfilling?
