Multinational IT service and consulting company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced plans to launch their Digital Acceleration Centre (DAC) in Singapore, to strengthen our workforce with relevant digital skills and enable businesses to adapt to the new operating environment amid the pandemic. As part of the initiative, local polytechnic and university graduates will be provided with traineeship opportunities to acquire digital skills and working experience through the SGUnited Traineeships Programme.
As part of this initiative, TCS’ investment will include providing up to 100 traineeship opportunities for local polytechnic and university graduates through Workforce Singapore’s SGUnited Traineeships Programme, to support the DAC. The centre will provide trainees with an immersive, real-world learning experience, as well as the opportunity to work on live projects with TCS’ diverse range of clients.
The launch of the DAC supplements existing initiatives by TCS in collaboration with the Infocomm Media Development Authority, such as the Company-Led Training program and TechSkills Accelerator Mid-Career Advance, to
equip professionals with competencies to excel in the technology industry.
“The launch of the Digital Acceleration Centre in Singapore by TCS will give our university and polytechnic graduates opportunities to build desirable digital skills and enable businesses to adapt to the new operating environment amid the pandemic,” said Mr Chng Kai Fong, Managing Director, EDB. “The centre is testament to TCS’ continued confidence and commitment in our partnership and to Singapore. We are also especially heartened that TCS is supporting our young graduates with traineeship opportunities during this challenging time and equipping them with skills for the future.”
