Centre for Future-ready Graduates
(formerly NUS Career Centre)

The Centre for Future-ready Graduates (CFG), formerly NUS Career Centre (NCC)
has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2004, when it first opened to
boost the employment of the NUS graduates.

CFG has benefitted more than 30,000 students today and has a vast network of
more than 3,000 companies worldwide. The team has grown over the last 10 years
to create a more bespoke service for different students with different needs.
Increasingly, CFG has become a valuable resource to students in their career
