" Rated highly as one of the top few hotel colleges in the world, UNLV Singapore brings together its faculty and industry experts to offer a 8 months program for meeting and event professionals in Singapore. With a record number of education programs produced for the tourism and convention industry in Las Vegas, UNLV is a leading authority for the MICE industry. In addition, our faculty has authored numerous textbooks that are used worldwide by other programs as well as industry professionals. Practicing industry professionals are invited into the classroom as guest lecturers and each year, more than 100 hospitality companies visit UNLV to recruit our students for full-time and summer employment. "

-Dr. Andy Nazarechek, Dean of UNLV Singapore

"We are expecting strong growth in the MICE sector in the coming few years.  This is not a sector which many Singaporeans know about, yet it is one which offers high value added jobs.  Organizing an event, be it a meeting, exhibition or conference, is a complex undertaking, requiring strong project management skills, artistry, and ability to use a multitude of tools.  WDA is therefore delighted to partner UNLV to introduce the WSQ Diploma in Tourism – specializing in Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions (MICE) and Events, offered under the Tourism Workforce Skills Qualification system.  It will provide an opportunity to Singaporeans who like to enter this professional field.  It will add to our range of programs and initiatives to help our workforce remain competitive, relevant and employable."
