The Graduate Diploma in Information-Communication Technology

The graduate diploma programme in Information-Communication Technology (G Dip ICT) is designed to meet the formal training needs of graduate professionals in the face of rapid technological changes and increasing demand for manpower skilled in information communication technologies. It provides graduates with the essential foundations, technical knowledge, and practical skills in computer communications, software technology and web applications. Graduate professionals who wish to enhance their professional skill base and those planning to join the Infocomm industry will benefit from the programme and gain the necessary technical skills and acumen for adapting to technological changes and meeting challenging demands in the Infocomm industry.

Programme Highlights…

The graduate diploma programme in Information-Communication Technology (G Dip ICT) is designed to equip graduate professionals with the essential foundations in data communications and software engineering, technical knowledge in multimedia communications and Internet business technology, and practical skills in software programming and web applications design. These knowledge and skill sets are taught and imparted to graduates in the programme through six specially designed courses.

A New Career in the Infocomm Industry ….

For those who are interested to make a career switch to the Infocomm industry, this is a unique opportunity not to be missed. G.Dip.ICT is a part-time conversion programme that provides a platform for non-ICT professionals to equip themselves with the essential technical skills and knowledge in ICT. The next intake of this programme will commence in Jan 2009.

The Need to Train & Retrain ….

Singapore is currently grappling with the problem of structural unemployment, where jobs are available but there are insufficient skilled people to take on these jobs. In particular, there is a lack of trained professionals for the ICT industry. Furthermore, to cope with the rapid pace of change in the Infocomm industry, it is important for ICT professionals to train and re-train to stay relevant and to equip themselves with up-to-date technical competencies in order to succeed in the competitive global Internet economy.
