- 3 in 5 Grab partners are keen to pursue a Diploma or Degree
- Grab partners and their loved ones benefit from exclusive admission requirements, and enjoy additional perks including free trial classes to select courses, as well as learning tools such as tablets when they sign up via GrabAcademy
- Select Diploma programmes are also available in Chinese, making it easier for more partners to upskill themselves without language concerns
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 January 2025 – Leading superapp Grab announced today that it has partnered with the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) to offer eight Diploma and Degree programmes, along with English language preparatory courses, to its driver- and delivery-partners, as well as their family members and friends. Offered through GrabAcademy, this initiative seeks to make tertiary education more accessible, empowering Grab’s partner community in Singapore with greater opportunities for personal and professional growth.
In a survey conducted with close to 1,100 Grab driver- and delivery-partners in Singapore[1], 3 out of 5 (or 60%) of them expressed interest in pursuing a Diploma or Degree programme. The top three motivators were to improve their skills and knowledge (27%); increase their potential earning (24%); and enhance their employability (24%). Among those who were hesitant to pursue tertiary education, respondents cited that personal or family commitments (30%) and a lack of time and course schedule flexibility (27%) were the main barriers preventing them from doing so.
To address these challenges, the programmes offered under this partnership are designed with flexibility at their core. Lessons can be attended in person, online, or through a blended approach, allowing partners to choose what works best for them. To further increase access to these programmes, Grab partners and loved ones can choose to apply via a non-standard entry requirement[2] that considers their work experiences, reducing barriers for those who wish to upskill.
Yee Wee Tang, Managing Director of Grab Singapore, said: “We have always believed that our platform can be a catalyst for lifelong learning among Singapore’s platform workers. That is why we started GrabAcademy in 2020 – to offer tailored learning programmes that meet their unique needs and aspirations. We understand that balancing work, life and learning can be tough. Through partnerships with thoughtful academic institutions like the London School of Business and Finance, we are making tertiary education more accessible, flexible and attainable for platform workers.”
Driving Impact with Industry-Relevant Education
Through this partnership, Grab partners and their loved ones are offered five Diploma programmes, three Degree programmes as well as English language preparatory courses by LSBF via GrabAcademy.
The Diploma and Degree programmes under this partnership are specially curated to meet industry demand for specialised skillsets such as cybersecurity and computer science. It also caters to the learning aspirations of Grab’s partners, who expressed strong interest in the survey to pursue tertiary education in business administration/studies as well as logistics and supply chain management. Given their interests, Diploma programmes for Business Administration as well as Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management will also be offered in Chinese, making it easier for more partners to upskill themselves without language concerns.

“We’re thrilled to work alongside Grab to offer education that is not only practical but also aligned with the current needs of the workforce,” said Rathakrishnan Govind, LSBF Global CEO. “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to bridging the skills gap in Asia and providing individuals with the knowledge and tools to thrive in their careers. The programmes will offer hands-on, skills-based training, giving learners the edge they need in an increasingly competitive job market.”
Additional support to help partners through their learning journeys
To encourage more Grab driver- and delivery-partners to upskill and reskill, Grab will offer special support including:
- Application fee waiver for LSBF Diploma and English Language programmes.
- Special welcome pack, including a complimentary tablet[3] upon enrolment, to complement their learning experience.
- Free trial classes are available for select modules in the Degree and Diploma programmes, as well as the preparatory course[4]

Luxury Hair Clinic Sheer Reprime Marks 8th Anniversary with a Flagship Expansion into Hong Kong’s Prestigious Wellington Street
Luxury hair and scalp rejuvenation pioneer Sheer Reprime invests nearly HK$10 million to deploy next-generation, FDA and CE-certified hair restoration and scalp rejuvenation technologies.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 June 2026 – Celebrating eight years of clinical excellence, premier hair and scalp rejuvenation brand Sheer Reprime today announced the grand opening of its ultra-luxury flagship center on Wellington Street, Central. Representing a strategic investment of nearly HKD10 million, the expansive facility positions Sheer Reprime at the epicenter of Hong Kong’s elite financial and cultural district. This expansion marks a new era of medical-grade, advanced hair restoration and scalp rejuvenation.
Located at 50 Wellington Street, adjacent to the iconic Yung Kee restaurant, the near-full-floor flagship features private treatment suites engineered for maximum comfort and discretion. The venue is optimized for busy and successful individuals, stars and celebrities seeking world-class clinical trichology with exceptional hospitality.
Bridging Follicle Biology and Biophotonics
Sheer Reprime’s expansion directly addresses a surging global market demand for scientifically backed hair-loss solutions, particularly as stress and lifestyle factors accelerate the onset of premature thinning among younger demographics.
“Our expansion into the heart of Central marks a watershed moment for Sheer Reprime,” said a Brand Spokesperson. “The modern consumer demands rigorous, evidence-based hair and scalp treatments. Sheer Reprime is built at the intersection of Follicle Biology and Biophotonics. Our multi-million-dollar investment into an advanced clinical instrumentation allows us to optimize the scalp microenvironment at a cellular level, far surpassing the limitations of older generation treatments.”
Internal clinical metrics validate the brand’s scientific approach. In a recent study tracking 100 urban professionals over a 12-week regimen of Sheer Reprime’s laser hair rejuvenation therapy, participants demonstrated an average increase of 22% in hair shaft thickness and an 18% increase in active follicular density.
Departing from standard industry practices focused merely on surface-level scalp cleansing, Sheer Reprime introduces its proprietary Connotation Therapy. This multi-modality framework combines technologies which have received FDA, Medical CE, and EU MDR (Medical Device Regulation) certifications. Amongst them SLD LLLT hair loss treatment, which delivers biophotonic laser energy 3–5mm beneath the scalp surface to revive the follicular base. Winback Tecar Therapy and 500kHZ cellular radio frequency, which utilizes deep thermal energy to enhance localized microcirculation across the head, neck, and shoulders, maximizing nutrient and oxygen delivery to the hair bulb while flushing out metabolic waste and DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
The launch of Sheer Reprime’s Wellington Street flagship redefines the luxury trichology landscape in Hong Kong, merging clinically proven regenerative technologies with an unparalleled bespoke experience.
