CuriousCore Wrap Up 2024

In this article

With 2024 now firmly behind us, we at CuriousCore are reflecting on what has been an extraordinary year. From empowering professionals to upskill in critical areas like UX Design, Agile, and Product Management, to building partnerships with leading organisations, this year has been a testament to our mission of transforming lives through upskilling and education. Here’s a look back at some of our proudest achievements in 2024.

 

Expanding Our Community: Empowering Professionals in UX and Product Management

One of our proudest achievements this year has been growing our community of UX and Product Management professionals not only in Singapore but across South East Asia as well. With the introduction of new hybrid and online learning formats, we’ve been able to connect with thousands of professionals from diverse backgrounds. Our UX Design and Product Management courses, which focus on building industry-relevant skills, have seen record enrollments, further cementing CuriousCore’s reputation as a leader in professional education.

As of January 2025, we’ve trained over 300 individuals across both public and commercial sectors. The rapid change in various industries showcases the agility and forward-thinking mindset of today’s workforce, and we are honored to play a role in this transformative journey.

Partnering with Industry Leaders

In 2024, we collaborated with renowned organisations such as Temus, DSTA, EDP, and NTUC Enterprise, among others. These partnerships allowed us to deliver tailored training programmes that met specific organisational needs, enabling teams to excel in digital transformation, customer experience, and agile methodologies.

Our work with these partners underscored our ability to adapt to unique industry requirements and deliver meaningful, measurable results. Here are some highlights:

CuriousCore x Temus

The year started with a challenging but fruitful journey we undertook with the students in the Temus Step IT Up programme! The Step IT Up programme was designed to help those without a background in Tech to make a career transition into the field. CuriousCore was brought in as a training provider for the first run of 2024, with out expertise in UX, Product Management and Agile training being stepping stones for the students to make this life-changing journey.

For the first few months of the year, we were right by their side helping guide and train them for success. It was an amazing experience, to see how much they grew individually while picking up essential skills and getting one step closer to their career goals. With each passing day, they became better equipped to thrive in their new roles. We can’t wait to see them reach new heights in their new career paths.

CuriousCore x DSTA

In September we ran our first in-person class of the year. It was a week-long WSQ Product Management workshop for UX Architects from the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA). The students found the in-person training to be very helpful and the topics taught by our instructors were relevant to what they needed to take the next step as a team in becoming more efficient in their various departments. The mix of lectures with hands-on activities kept them engaged and helped them better understand the material being taught. Overall, the class was a resounding success and the trainees and client were satisfied with the results.

CuriousCore x NTUC Fairprice Group

In October, CuriousCore hosted a 1.5-day Product Management training workshop for the engineering and design leaders of NTUC Fairprice Group at our Golden Mile Tower office. This workshop fostered open dialogue, encouraging participants to share insights and learn from other organisations. It was a rewarding experience that deepened their understanding of product thinking, helping them adopt a more strategic approach to digital initiatives.

Expanding Our Global Impact

This year marked our growth beyond borders. We were thrilled to launch initiatives aimed at the wider South East Asian market, including:

  • World HR Conference (WHRC) 2024: We were thrilled to be a part of the World HR Conference (WHRC) 2024. It was a fruitful experience where we got the opportunity to speak with various individuals from the HR and finance sector, sharing our knowledge on UX and Product management and how it could help improve HR related matters.
  • Upskill Malaysia Programme: Under the Program Latihan Madani (PLM) initiative, we conducted fully funded training for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), empowering them with critical skills and certifications to boost workplace inclusion.
  • Fusecon 2024: This year we had a chance to be a part of Fusecon2024 where our Founder, Daylon Soh, had an amazing time leading a Product-Led Innovation & Growth Workshop for UX and Product professionals. We also had guest speakers Natan Santolo and Shery Chan to start of the workshop with an inspiring fireside chat on innovation and growth in organisations.

The success of these programmes reinforces our commitment to creating equitable learning opportunities for everyone, regardless of background.

Thought Leadership and Community Engagement

CuriousCore has remained at the forefront of thought leadership in professional education. Through our blog, webinars, and guest speaker events, we’ve shared valuable insights on topics such as:

  • The power of customer experience in driving business success
  • The role of AI and automation in shaping the future of work
  • Best practices for building a product-driven mindset in organisations

Our events have featured industry experts who shared actionable strategies for designing products that truly address customer pain points. These sessions have not only educated but also inspired our growing community of learners and professionals.

Leveraging Technology for Enhanced Learning

This year, we made significant investments in technology to enhance the learning experience. From implementing advanced learning management systems to integrating hybrid formats that blend in-person and online training, we’ve ensured our courses are accessible, flexible, and engaging. Our learners have praised these innovations, highlighting the seamless experience and the ability to balance learning with their professional and personal commitments.

Recognitions and Milestones

2024 has also been a year of recognition for CuriousCore. We’re proud to have been acknowledged as a trusted training provider by various industry bodies. These accolades are a reflection of our commitment to delivering high-quality, impactful education
