“Cycle & Carriage’s growth mirrors the personal and professional development of our people throughout the years. This is why we feel strongly about empowering people, especially our youth, as success is not just what we gain, it’s more about the legacy we leave behind. Cycle & Carriage is proud to be part of our youth’s journey as they develop into future drivers and innovators of the automotive industry,” said Cycle & Carriage CEO, Wilfrid Foo.

Upon completion, grant recipients will be offered paid internship opportunities during semester breaks in addition to a one-year bond with Cycle & Carriage.
