More than 10,000 people here will be trained in advanced data and artificial intelligence (AI) skills over the next three years, as part of a partnership between Databricks, NTUC LearningHub and the National University of Singapore's (NUS) ICT Academy.
The data and AI firm will collaborate with the two in offering data and Al courses and certifications, both for existing data and AI professionals, and those who are new to the field.
These courses will help participants master the fundamentals of data and Al technology, build awareness of common data and Al workloads and leverage relevant Databricks tools and services, the firm said.
The move was announced by Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Tan Kiat How during Databricks' Data + Al World Tour Singapore event, held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre on Aug 30.
"Such initiatives help to create new upskilling and reskilling opportunities for our workers and build this culture of lifelong learning in our ecosystem," said Mr Tan, adding that Databricks has already helped train more than 3,000 data and AI professionals here since 2021, when it entered Singapore.
