Hear from our Industry Partners

As the world becomes more digitally connected, the need to protect the digital space becomes more critical. To do this, the need to increase talent pipelines in cybersecurity and digital trust becomes key. The Mastercard-NTU Joint lab thus plays a key role in contributing to talent development efforts for Singapore and the region. The joint lab will also undertake joint research into new spaces such as Trusted AI.

NTU Singapore and Facebook, are collaborating to launch a pilot programme to develop local talent in the data centre sector in Singapore, a major data investment hub in the region.

The new nine-month pilot programme by the Centre for Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE@NTU) will offer four Specialist Certificates and one Graduate Certificate in the pilot phase, starting August 2020.

The four Specialist Certificate programmes are in design engineering, network engineering, site operations, and facility operations, while the Graduate Certificate programme is in international construction management. (Please see Annex A for details).

The courses - developed in conjunction with NTU College of Engineering - are aimed at training and upskilling local engineering talent to fill the increasing demand for specialists in the data centre industry. They will run alongside NTU undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum, both on campus and online. The pilot programme is open to the public and eligible for funding and mid-career enhanced subsidy provided by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG).
