In October 2012, We have just successfully completed a pilot program for Cooperative Program. The school, Orchid Park Secondary sent a group of students and the top team were invited to the ACE Entrepreneurship Week for a showcase.

This program was intended as an elective modules, promoting Co-operative spirit in entrepreneurship, rather than the usual money driven entrepreneurship program.
If co-operative seems familiar but not sure what, let me give you an example of co-operative in local context;
a. NTUC Fairprice
b. Singapore Malay Teachers' Co-op.

What is a co-op? 
According to Wikipedia,  a co-op is an autonomous association of persons who voluntarily cooperate for their mutual, social, economic, and cultural benefit. It is owned and managed by the people who use its services (a consumer cooperative) and/or by the people who work there (a worker cooperative) or by the people who live there (a housing cooperative)
It is very common for an agriculture society or country where farmers pull their resources together for a common goal. With combined resources, farmers could afford to improve productivity and earn better returns for their yield.

NTUC has played a major role in controlling the prices of necessities such as rice and sugar. With the financial power to purchase goods by the masses and investment in logistic infrastructure, locals are able to enjoy affordable supplies while other countries suffer fluctuating prices, especially when they lack the muscle to mass purchase.

In general, Co-operative program is an entrepreneurship program but rather than focusing on making money, our program focuses on meeting unmet/insufficient social needs, values and teamwork. Co-operatives can never be born without teamwork.
