What Our Industry Partners Say

Gary Lim Head of Education - International, Google Cloud

"Over the past 40 years, Singapore has been able to raise its education level from one similar to that of many developing countries to match the best in the worldwide stage of education and re-skilling. In this aspect, Google Cloud is glad to partner with Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) in their latest innovative approach to teaching and learning through the Professional Competency Model (PCM). By focusing on an AI-first learning curriculum and training environment to be jointly developed, we believe that both NYP and Google Cloud will be well-placed to recharge the workforce of tomorrow and to allow our talents to find a strong footing in jobs available in Singapore and across the globe."

Ng Puay San Education and Skills Lead, Microsoft Singapore

"As employer organisations continue to accelerate their digital transformation, the skills that they require of their workforce have also evolved. In addition to on-the-job reskilling, there is definitely an opportunity for educators to better prepare for new generations of workforce with futureproofed skills. One such example is the NYP-PCM, which Microsoft is excited to support with access to our student and educator learning resources, training and certification. By working with their faculty to integrate these into the Competency Units, we hope that the graduating cohorts will enter the workforce ready to contribute to their employers and economy."

Damian Haas Regional Director for Asia Pacific, Oracle Academy

"Oracle Academy is delighted to support Nanyang Polytechnic’s curriculum innovations in their Information Technology school. This programme gives students the opportunity to acquire industry-standard and in-demand competencies and practices as they learn, forming an excellent foundation for their development when they enter the workforce. The curriculum assets offered via the Oracle Academy Cloud Program provide an opportunity to help prepare the next generation of IT tech leaders who are not only conversant in technology but understand the business practices of the working world."

Louis Teoh Director (Customer Advisory), SAS

"We’ve co-built competency development elements in the course, and our SAS subject matter experts will be co-teaching alongside NYP academics. Students will graduate with a joint certificate in “Predictive Analytics in Data Science” certifying them as having met the standards and expectations of our programme credential. Students can expect to find this Programme highly enriching. Beyond establishing a strong foundation for Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, students contemplate & be an active part of the revolution that is Data Science, yet be sensitive to matters concerning ethical AI and safe intelligence. This is a well-rounded Programme I endorse."

By bringing together practical applications of data and AI in an engineering course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to apply AI in the engineering domain. We believe that the highly practical PCM approach will help prepare learners for careers in Data Science and AI, or even cross-sectoral work within the engineering industry."

Darryl Long Managing Director, Ubisoft Singapore and Ubisoft Philippines

"The Professional Competency Model adopted by NYP is responsive and well-adapted to our needs in AAA game development. To keep up with our multidisciplinary, highly collaborative and fast-evolving video game industry, students need a curriculum that is strong in the core fundamentals and goes beyond teaching skills. Creating blockbuster AAA games requires creativity, critical thinking and team work – big picture thinking that should be instilled in our next generation of talent as early as possible. We’re delighted to see that NYP has designed a model that closely reflects the way our competitive industry works and moves students toward building core competencies rather than rote learning subjects that can quickly become outdated. We remain committed to partnering with NYP to assist in shaping our future leaders and contributing back to the video games industry."

Joyce Law Head of Business Development SAPAC, Unity Technologies

"NYP alongside with Unity have developed a Centre of Excellence with the vision of providing students a strong foundation in game development and game engine application. We are delighted to see that NYP has enhanced its teaching pedagogy with the Professional Competency Model, allowing students more time to apply academic learning into practical work. The experience would in time give students a better insights into the industry, providing them with the understanding and knowledge to enter the digital media industry."
