Firebenders' problem statement, purpose statement draft 1

3. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Employers value various communication skills to ensure a high level of efficiency in employees, clear understanding of management protocol and ease of operation between departments. With local polytechnics and other universities offering specialized communication modules to FST students not offered by NUS, NUS FST students may find themselves disadvantaged in the workplace – not just in Singapore but also internationally. The purpose of this research is to find out about the communication needs of the food industrial workplace and with that, come out with a modification in the FST curriculum.



4. PURPOSE STATEMENT

The aim of this proposal is to persuade the NUS Excellence Unit that it is necessary to carry out further research on the communication needs in the food industrial workplace.
