Students and lecturers from TBS joined forces with our Taylors Community coaches with a mission to educate and prepare them for their presentation session to CIMB Islamic Bank.

It gave me more first-hand experience \u2013 meeting people and communicating with them. This brings out an environment that we can never get in a classroom, where the lecturer only feeds us information and we just absorb it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can read the full story <a href=\"https:\/\/csr.taylorsedu.my\/taylorscommunity\/beyond-the-classroom-and-into-the-community\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4102\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/csr.taylorsedu.my\/taylorscommunity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSC01817.jpg?resize=455%2C302&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"302\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are also extremely honored to have a panel of much esteemed judges, which comprised of employees from Taylor\u2019s Education Group, CIMB and also a fleet of inspiring entrepreneurs to help us decide the top 100 winners for this competition.
