Under the joint initiative, SP students will benefit from the following opportunities:

Enrollment in Free 5G Training: SP students can enroll in two beginner-level 5G courses, namely "5G Primer and Fundamentals of Cellular Communication and 5G," where they will gain insights into 5G technology, its functionalities, use cases, and more.
Introductory-Level Certificate in 5G: Upon completion of the two free beginner-level courses, students can opt to undertake Qualcomm Academy's 5G introductory-level certification exam. Successful candidates will receive a 5G Certificate from Qualcomm Technologies, showcasing their understanding of 5G fundamentals.
Associate-Level Certificate in 5G: Building upon the introductory-level certification, SP students can pursue an associate-level certification in 5G. This certification, tailored for polytechnic and university students, equips them with advanced technical skills, preparing them for roles as associate-level wireless engineers in the industry.

The two beginner-level 5G courses are part of Qualcomm Academy's 5G University programme, which has already reached over 11,000 students worldwide since its launch in 2021.

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.
