Modelling Your Career

Data-driven. Now that's a word you would have heard umpteen times and no wonder because the environments we work in are starting to look a lot like they are. From what to watch next on Netflix, to dynamic ticket pricing on airlines, organisations and businesses are using data-driven approaches to improve efficiencies and make critical decisions.

We encourage anyone to join us for this exciting programme. And by anyone, we mean anyone - anyone who is generally curious with a great interest in finding out what data is, to making data magic through analysis and predictions. Whether it is exploring roles in data science for absolute beginners or career-switchers who are exploring additional skillset in data, across major industries, data is in demand in the age of Smart Nation.

For the ModularMaster pathway, learners can mix and stack modules the way that best fit their learning goals as long as they add up to 72 subject credits within 2 years within the same domain.

If you have not decided on pursuing the ModularMaster, you can always take up individual modules that are the most relevant to your learning goals.

Under SCTP scheme, trainees are encouraged to complete all modules to fully benefit from the intent of the programme. Similar to existing requirements for other training grants administered by SSG, trainees must fulfil minimum attendance requirements and pass the assessments to qualify for course fee subsidies. Trainees who are unable to meet these requirements, or exit the programme without a valid reason, may be asked to return the course fee subsidy that they have received, including any additional course fee funding support.
