SHATEC, which has been training students in Singapore for jobs in the hospitality industry for 42 years, is reportedly closing down. It has already put up its campus building in Bukit Batok for sale, reported Lianhe Zaobao. Source: Google Maps SHATEC has suspended operations since 1 April An email sent by SHATEC director Margaret Heng on 27 March, which was seen by Zaobao, informed alumni that it would gradually suspend its operations from 1 April. The move was described as a “business containment exercise”.   After SHATEC was taken over by new management in January, it was found that its existing operating model was “no longer economically viable”, she explained, without elaborating further. This was a “difficult decision” for the board of the Singapore Hotel Association (SHA), which set up SHATEC in 1983. The business containment includes reducing the scale of operations, completing the courses that have started and teaching the last batch of pre-employment training (PET) students.

Source: Google Maps In an 8 May statement quoted by Zaobao, CBRE said the three-storey building has been priced at about S$18 million. Its lease ends in 2051.   Zaobao reporters who visited the building on 24 June found a sign outside its gate saying that it was for sale. When they called the phone number on the notice board, a staff member who answered said that the institution stopped enrolling new students in March. SHATEC campus in Orchard & The Sapling restaurant already closed When Zaobao went down to SHATEC’s Orchard Campus at the Singapore Tourism Court, it found that it had already shuttered. A Singapore Tourism Board staff member at the reception counter said the Orchard Campus held its last day of classes last Thursday (26 June). It is understood that some of its courses at the branch have been transferred to the main campus in Bukit Batok. The Orchard Campus opened approximately 1.5 years ago in January 2024. It was “designed to provide learners with an immersive learning experience, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on training that includes professional-class culinary facilities”, said SHATEC in a press release at the time.

Thus, it took in its last batch of PET students in September last year, it said, adding: SHATEC still reviewing long-term plans: Chairman In response to enquiries from Zaobao, SHATEC Chairman Loh Lik Peng said the institution was “in the early stages of reviewing its long-term plans”. The sale of the Bukit Batok campus is part of its “asset management strategy”, he added. However, as the review is ongoing, he cannot comment further.
