Case study
"We sent our team to various SFEC-eligible courses, which covered virtual events planning and data protection, to prepare our workforce for a post-COVID environment. This enabled us to create virtual environments that better showcase our event concepts to clients. We were also able to switch effectively to virtual platforms, which helped to advance the company’s business recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely impacted the events industry."

“We adopted a digital retail management system which helped our company adapt through the pandemic, which affected customer walk-ins. Our staff also took the opportunity to embark on various SFEC-eligible courses as part of the company’s strategic shift towards a more consultative and clinical approach to eye care. This included courses in retail selling and leadership training, strengthening the resilience and skillsets of our staff, allowing us to differentiate ourselves in a competitive market.”
