The programme will help provide 1,600 tech jobs and training opportunities.

Singtel subsidiary, NCS and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) have joined hands to provide 1,600 tech jobs and training opportunities for polytechnic graduates over the next two years.

Through their work and study programme, Fusion, NCS will hire and train 400 polytechnic graduates covering areas such as infrastructure, applications, software development and cybersecurity.

The programme will support the polytechnic graduates’ enrolment into a degree at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) or Singapore Institute of Management (SIM).

In 2023, NCS will launch a new programme aimed to help 400 Institute of Technical Education (ITE) graduates work and study part-time to attain a diploma in a technology-related field.

The Fusion and ITE Programmes complement NCS’ ongoing Nucleus Programme, which will see 800 University graduates recruited as digital specialists in the next two years.

Meanwhile, NCS will also provide tech internship opportunities for 1,000 students from Institutes of Higher Learning over the next two years.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
