Ngee Ann Polytechnic partners Temus for blended digital transformation and training initiative

The polytechnic will co-develop platforms using AI and data, while upskilling staff to deploy these digital products and services in partnership with Temus

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 27 October 2022 – Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) and Temasek-backed digital transformation company Temus inked an agreement today to upskill NP’s employees who perform IT-related roles and work on IT-related projects. The upskilling programme will take a blended approach, involving on-the-job training and co-development of digital solutions for deployment across the campus.

Known as the Digital Factory, the pilot initiative will empower NP employees to co-develop digital solutions with Temus for the benefit of the Institute of Higher Learning’s students and staff community, by harnessing digital domain areas like Artificial Intelligence, data management, and human-centred design.

The agreement will also see a group of NP employees – particularly those from non-IT backgrounds – benefiting from a customised version of Temus’ Step IT Up programme. The ‘hire, place, and train’ curriculum has enabled 1,100 people worldwide to secure tech roles at leading global companies, with around 90 per cent of graduates retained in their tech roles for two years and more. Through Step IT Up, the participating NP employees will acquire the needed digital skills to co-create, operate, and improve upon these digital solutions even beyond the period of Temus’ appointment.

“We are excited to work with Temus in the Digital Factory initiative as the polytechnic embarks on our next stage of digital transformation. This pilot programme underscores our commitment to invest in building staff capabilities, so that we can continue to expand our digital solutions and services that benefit our students and partners. We are confident that this will accelerate our drive to create a smart and future-ready campus,” said Mr Lim Kok Kiang, Principal & CEO of Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

“Temus is delighted to support Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s digital transformation journey through a bespoke programme based on their unique requirements,” said KC Yeoh, Chief Executive Officer, Temus. “We look forward to co-creating a more digitally-connected future ready campus for their students and staff.”
