One
hundred adult learners will be sponsored by the Singapore
government to attend a SAP ERP post graduate course run by Victoria University.
The
course will be delivered by Victoria University in Singapore, in partnership with
South-East Asian SAP education provider Lithan Genovate.
The
Singaporean government will subsidise the cost of the course fees for the three
month graduation certificate in ERP, and a 7 month paid internship.
The
combination of ERP studies and a paid internship is a unique opportunity for
students.
The
government’s commitment is part of the Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) for
Enterprise Resource Planning.
PCPs
are run over a number of industries to enhance joy opportunities for
Singaporean business professionals in key growth sectors, including IT,
Healthcare, Tourism and Retail.
Victoria University
said the move signals the strong commitment of the Singapore
government towards developing a pool of skilled talent to support the Singapore’s Infocomm
industry.
The
infocomm sector is a key contributor to the Singapore economy. According to the
Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), revenue for the industry
reached $58.1 billion Singapore
dollars in 2008.
Victoria University’s SAP Programs Director,
Paul Hawking, said the graduates would be in high demand by the industry when
they completed studies.
“This
commitment from the Singapore
government to subsidise the cost of study for interns in its Professional
Skills Program confirms the worldwide demand for SAP skills and the role universities
can play in satisfying this demand,” he said.
Victoria University
offers a number of other ERP related course in facilities across the Asia
Pacific, including Melbourne, Singapore and Beijing.
