Deep tech training programme launched for software developers

A NEW year-long programme aimed at boosting Singapore's deep tech capabilities was launched by global software consultancy ThoughtWorks on Thursday.

Supported by the Infocomm Media Development Authority under its TechSkills Accelerator initiative, the ThoughtWorks Data Guild programme is open to Singaporean software developers looking to build specialised careers in data engineering, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Candidates will be offered a 12-month paid contract, in which they will receive three months of classroom learning on the topics and nine months of on-the-job training with local startups, small- and medium-sized enterprises and non-profits or social organisations to work on data projects.

Subsequently, they can seek relevant jobs in the market or join the organisations they worked with during the programme, if opportunities are available."ThoughtWorks recognises that deeper collaboration between industry and government is critical for growing the talent pool and tech industry expertise in Singapore," said Jessie Xia, managing director for South-east Asia at ThoughtWorks.
