SMF, NUS develops data courses for maritime professionals

The courses are to adopt a stackable-skills and micro-credentials approach.

The Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) partnered with the National University of Singapore (NUS) to develop applied data science and analytics courses.

Under a memorandum of understanding (MOU), SMF and NUS will co-create blended-learning courses. These courses are designed to accommodate the family, social, and work commitments of working adults.

Certifications awarded to learners who satisfactorily complete these courses can be stacked towards a Master’s degree in the future.

A pilot run will be conducted in September 2024 to facilitate the exchange of ideas in curriculum design and domain knowledge.

SMF and NUS plans a full roll out of customised courses in the first quarter of 2025.

The courses are expected to empower maritime professionals to upskill and advance their careers with targeted domain skills, based on findings from SMF’s report of the Tripartite Advisory Panel for Future-ready Maritime Workforce, the SMF and NUS said in a press release.

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.
