The Singapore Computer Society (SCS), in collaboration with SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), has unveiled a new Skills Pathway for Cloud. Launched at the Tech³ Forum at the Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, this initiative is designed to address the growing need for cloud expertise in Singapore’s rapidly evolving technology landscape. The programme offers industry-relevant training and certifications, targeting both new entrants and mid-career professionals, to enhance their career prospects in the tech sector.
The Skills Pathway for Cloud is structured into two levels, preparing individuals for roles such as Cloud Infrastructure Engineer and Cloud Solution Architect. Participants can gain industry-recognised certifications and access internship and job opportunities with key employers, including DBS and ST Engineering. Edward Chen, Chairman of SCS Skills Pathway, highlighted the initiative’s role in bridging the gap between stakeholders and shaping talent development strategies aligned with workforce needs.
This marks the second Skills Pathway developed by SCS, following the successful launch of the Skills Pathway for Cybersecurity in July 2024. The earlier programme saw over 180 individuals secure internships or employment, demonstrating the demand for job-relevant training. The new cloud pathway is expected to further strengthen Singapore’s digital workforce, with tech jobs in the country having grown from 172,000 in 2019 to 214,000 in 2024, according to IMDA.
