YOOZOO Games, 5 S'pore polytechnics cooperate to develop gaming industry talents

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 -- The Singapore subsidiary of YOOZOO Games (YOOZOO Singapore) has signed a memorandum of cooperation with five polytechnics in Singapore to jointly carry out scientific research, teaching and practical projects.

According to a statement, the polytechnics are Nanyang Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic and Singapore Polytechnic.

Through this cooperation, YOOZOO Singapore will provide polytechnic students studying game design and software engineering with opportunities to get hands-on industry experience, including internship opportunities, workshops and case studies.

The cooperation is set to create job opportunities for polytechnic graduates, with YOOZOO Singapore also providing lecturers with industry-relevant experience.

YOOZOO Singapore Managing Director, Qin Liu said the company was looking forward to cooperating with Singapore's top polytechnics, describing the cooperation as a win-win opportunity for all parties.

“It not only provides industry practice opportunities for the teachers and students, but also strengthens YOOZOO's scientific and technical research capabilities.”

In April, during the implementation of the ‘circuit breaker’ isolation measures, YOOZOO donated three million yen worth of laptops to students from five polytechnics in Singapore to help them transition to online classes during the epidemic. (100 yen = RM3.92)

YOOZOO Games - headquartered in Shanghai with offices across Asia, Europe, and the US - has forged a strong global distribution network, having launched over 40 highly successful titles including Game of Thrones Winter is Coming, the League of Angels series and Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac.
