SINGAPORE - Working adults can soon sign up to upgrade their skills in the information and communications technology sector through a new programme offering qualifications which can stack up to a Singapore Institute of Technology degree.
On Monday, SIT inked a memorandum of understanding with three industry partners – NCS, Singtel and Singapore Computer Society – and three polytechnics – Nanyang Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic and Temasek Polytechnic. “Beyond the first diploma or degree, we should be pursuing many more stackable modules that are competency-based. It is not just about getting a general degree, but micro-credentials that are relevant and specific to the industry needs.”
The programme will allow learners to be exempted from certain courses if their previous courses and acquired skills – such as post-diploma certifications or skills gained through work – are a match with the course.More On This TopicThe programme will begin in the later half of the academic year 2023/2024 that starts next September, with an expected initial intake of close to 150 students.
NCS and Singtel will be sponsoring their employees for this programme and will work closely with SIT to curate suitable learning materials for the students.
