What is this programme about

 

Is Singapore’s TAE market limiting and restricting you?

Thinking of expanding your TAE skillsets beyond the conventional learning design and delivery to include contextualizing Singapore’s Skills Frameworks (SFw) for adoption in foreign country TAE markets and open up new market opportunities for yourself in the process?

Even better, how about getting paid upon successful completion of this programme, and potentially securing assignment & project opportunities right after programme completion? 

This programme is the first of its kind where learners can equip themselves with the foundations of Singapore’s SFw and ultilize it for market entry into global TAE markets, through a hybrid delivery mode comprising facilitated online learning plus a project-based applied practice experience under the guidance of an experienced Mentor. Learners can look forward to being compensated upon completion of the progamme if performance requirements are met.
