$225,000 funds raised through developing events management expertise during this global economic downturn

Singapore, 25 August 2009 - The Events Management Action Program (EMAP) trains you to acquire multi-faceted skills for the growing meetings, incentives, conventions and events (Mice) industry.

This unique events training program has enabled, through its training regime, to groom the trainees to raise the over $225,000 funds raised (June 2009) for their respective beneficiary organisations, namely Disabled People's Association and Rainbow Centre. And it all began with the EMAP training and a start-up fund of $100 for each training group's event project. That this has been fulfilled despite this global economic downturn, is gratifying indeed.

The two mega events organised by EMAP Project Groups:
1. 5 June 2009, A Night of HOPE - Disabled People's Association (DPA) Fundraising Dinner, Guest of Honour: His Excellency, President S R Nathan, Total funds raised: $80,000

2. 24 June 2009, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Rainbow Centre Special Opening Night, Guest of Honour: Ms Ho Ching, Total funds raised: $145,000.

"For the individuals, industries and nation to grow, we do not need just more training but more transformational training. Too many programmes out there are falling short of achieving the desired measurable results. EMAP is one of the few exceptions. Its holistic curriculum and dedicated mentorship have achieved high returns on the participants' training investment." said David Lee, President of the Association of Professional Trainers, Singapore (APTS), endorser of EMAP.

DPA and Rainbow Centre are two of the organisations which supported their trainees' participation in the EMAP programme that was created, mooted and organised by ComsLink International. It is exclusively developed by the one and only true Events Guru in Singapore, Mr T. Vijay MBA (Marketing), mAPTS.

The organisers of the EMAP, endorsed by the Association of Professional Trainers, Singapore, lift up to its corporate social responsibility in addition to nurturing individuals in mastering events management skills.

This first-time and very special event, engages students to be socially apt in coffee talk and polite chats and is geared to showcase the life skills in communication social etiquette, personal quality, grooming, time management ... organised at the ITE Balestier, that was decorated to provide the graceful ambience of a coffee club atmosphere, the programme was attended by over 30 eager students, including a few from the Clementi campus, who enjoyed the fun speed dating setting.

The event also provided an apt opportunity for our hospitality students to practice and further refine their hosting skills as they served food and coffee to the speed daters.

With a boom in endurance sports, more and more races are being organised. Similarly with the rapidly growing interest in the IR and all the excellent facilities that will be offered, more and more events are expected to be organised, covering other areas besides sports.
