Living and learning with the Executive Education Programmes (EEP)

Our EEP have always been crafted with the working professional in mind.

Offering insights into the latest technologies and competitive business strategies, our executive education programmes are delivered by experts in their field and supported by practical learning opportunities in real-world industry environments. The overall aim is to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge they need to design and implement innovative digital solutions in the workplace.

Over the past year, the IT industry in Singapore has seen such substantial growth that many sectors are facing talent shortages. To meet industry demand, we have focused on future technologies to ensure we are always offering up-to-date training programmes on the latest trends and best practices. In doing so, we aim to meet the talent shortage head-on and equip hardworking professionals with the skills they need to continue on their chosen career path.

At NUS-ISS, we believe in lifelong learning. All of our EEP courses are designed to enhance and upgrade the existing skill sets of Professionals, Managers and Executives (PMEs), developing them into strong leaders, creative innovators and strategic thinkers for the future. In order to remain at the forefront of cutting-edge technology trends, we continually revise our curriculum to help our students achieve business transformation, digital innovation and revenue generation in the workplace.

Digital Leadership

What I like about the course is the professional knowledge of instructors and their ability to cite case examples to illustrate the learning principles. They also motivated class participants to actively engage in class discussion.

Introducing… the Professional Conversion Programme (PCP)

Launched by Minister Ong Ye Kung on 30 September 2016, our Professional Conversion Programmes (PCP) are the latest exciting addition to the EEP programmes.

The PCP concept was carefully developed with PMEs in mind. The primary purpose is to allow PMEs who are seeking a career change to upskill and convert their current skill set and be placed with an employer in a new industry.

Both of the first two programmes – the PCP for Data Analysts and the PCP for Full Stack Software Developers – include a combination of classroom training and practical work attachments. This offers individuals the chance to apply what they have learnt in a professional industry environment.

Benefits of the PCP

    Professionals can...
  • develop new and in-demand skill sets
  • launch a brand-new career in an up-and-coming sector
  • safeguard their livelihood by adapting to industry changes
    Employers can…
  • circumvent the nationwide talent shortage with high-quality candidates
  • convert existing staff to serve in new job roles
  • explore the potential of the wider PME workforce

PCP for Data Analysts

As businesses in Singapore continue to evolve and develop in the digital landscape, it is increasingly important that employees understand how key insights can be discovered through data analysis and exploration.

This course starts right at the very beginning for professionals new to the field of data analytics, providing practical skills and essential knowledge across five subject areas.

NICF - Statistics Bootcamp with R and Tableau
NICF - Predictive Analytics – Insights of Trends and Irregularities
NICF - Text Analytics
NICF - Customer Analytics
NICF - Managing Business Analytics Project

NUS-ISS has played an important role in enabling our workforce to upskill and embrace Big Data analytics, and transforming them to become data champions and catalyst for their work centres.

PCP for Full Stack Software Developers

Hundreds of new apps are launched every single day. Businesses need to rely on experienced coders to design, develop, test and refine these apps to offer their customers a seamless user experience.

This course teaches the basic coding skills required for individuals to create an app from scratch using the full stack approach, focusing on four key modules.

Client-Side Foundation
Server-Side Foundation
Persistence & Analytics Foundation
Security, Notification & Messaging Fundamentals

PCP brings industry partners and industry projects together, allowing us to work on real industry problems. The Full Stack Developer course covers everything from client-side all the way to server side and databases. The hands-on coaching provided by NUS-ISS helps us to solve practical issues when we apply our lessons in a real situation. I believe few courses outside NUS-ISS will give you this end-to-end picture.
