Singapore – December 03, 2021 —
Dell Technologies today announced a joint commitment with four Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) to enhance the pre-employment training curriculum for over 5,000 tertiary students in #singapore over the next two years. The programme seeks to build and attract a robust talent pipeline for the local information and communications technology (ICT) sector by equipping the students with industry-relevant skills.
Together with #singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), #singapore Management University (SMU), Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) and #singapore Polytechnic (SP), #delltechnologies will co-develop new content for curriculum modules, specialist diplomas and degree courses focused on critical core skills tied to new and emerging technologies such as cloud computing, data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT) and #digital cities management. These key skills were identified based on industry needs – through feedback from #delltechnologies and its partners and customers – and aligns with the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s (IMDA) Services 4.0 roadmap, which envisions the future of services using emerging technologies in a #digital economy.
Delivered by #delltechnologies Academy, the launch of this new initiative between #delltechnologies and the four IHLs was witnessed today by Mr Tan Kiat How, Minister of State, Ministry of Communications & Information at #delltechnologies Executive Briefing Solution Centre at One@Changi City. The programme comes under the Dell Technologies Digital Future - Made in Singapore umbrella, which aims to fast track the adoption of future-ready #digital solutions and drive innovations in #singapore for partners and customers globally.
“The Government is committed to developing our youths to seize the exciting opportunities in the #digital economy, which has grown despite the economic contractions elsewhere. Industry partners such as #delltechnologies play a key role in translating this growth into good opportunities for Singaporeans, especially in the area of emerging technologies. We look forward to more of such partnerships, that really bring the possibilities of technology to life.” said Minister of State Mr Tan Kiat How, Minister of State, Ministry of Communications & Information.
“Dell Technologies is committed to collaborate with the #singapore government and the tertiary education institutions to help shape the next generation of tech talent. Together, we can help drive human progress with technology, values and purpose,” said Amit Midha, President, Asia Pacific & Japan, and Global #digital Cities, Dell Technologies. “Under our #digital Future – Made in Singapore initiative, our strategic partnerships with #singapore Institute of Technology, #singapore Management University, Ngee Ann Polytechnic and #singapore Polytechnic will enhance the overall tech learning curriculum for students, uplift the ICT and cloud-native ecosystem in #singapore and advance the skills and employability of our future workforce. We will continue to build on these partnerships and are open to forge new ones to expand on the growing tech ecosystem.”
Access to curated courses on cloud and dedicated mentorship
Dell Technologies will work closely with the IHL professors and lecturers, offering customised tech expertise and consultation to aid in curriculum planning and curate cloud-native content to be included in students’ learning curriculum. Beyond curriculum design, students can benefit from #delltechnologies industry experts’ insights, and mentorship will also be offered to students as they navigate final year projects and industry attachments.
Students can look forward to immersing in the latest emerging technologies and industry-relevant content such as DevOps, microservices, cloud-native security, containers and Kubernetes. They will also get opportunities for hands-on experience via lab tutorial projects that highlight the importance and complexity of managing applications in an enterprise environment.
With the current hybrid education model, students from the four IHLs will be granted access to a suite of self-guided e-learning courses via Dell Technologies’ #digital learning #platform. These courses are designed to provide students with practical tech knowledge and skills that are in demand by the ICT sector, enhancing their employability and providing a head start to their future technology careers.
An ongoing effort to nurture the tech talent pool
The latest collaboration with the four IHLs is an extension of Dell Technologies’ tech skills accelerator initiative announced in February 2021, which aims to equip fresh graduates, mid-career professionals and students in #singapore with practical knowledge and skills in cloud computing, data protection and management, data science and big data analytics by 2023. Beyond students, #delltechnologies continues to work with its network of partners and customers to support mid-career professionals with skills training and enhancement for the data era, through its Dell Technologies Skills Up programme.
“Being part of the Dell Technologies Skills Up programme gave our employees the chance to be trained in core critical skills such as Cloud Infrastructure and Data Analytics. ST Engineering believes in continual learning and upskilling of our employees. In 2021, employees from Mission Software & Services have accumulated over 800 hours of training under this program. This is especially critical in the fast changing and dynamic #digital landscape. We seek to work with strong, likeminded partners like #delltechnologies, and invest in the growth of our #digital talent.” said Rajagopal, Senior Vice President/General Manager, Mission Software & Services, ST Engineering.
