Aviva Singapore has become the first insurer to partner with the Infocomm Media Development Authority to offer a Cloud Computing training programme to upskill new and existing employees.
Under IMDA’s Company Led Training (CLT) programme, Aviva will fast-track fresh professionals through a 12-month NexGen Technology Programme aimed at young IT professionals while mid-level professionals will receive upskilling in Cloud Computing capabilities over six months. This effort is in line with the company’s drive to develop a fresh pipeline of IT professionals, according to a media release Monday.
The CLT programme will train up to 60 fresh and mid-level professionals over the next three years. Under the training programme, the company will focus on building professionals’ capabilities in three competencies, namely: Cloud Architecture, Cloud Engineering, and Cloud Operations. Upon completion of the CLT, trainees will be able to develop and use computational models, tools and techniques to interpret and understand data, solve problems and guide decision-making.
Culture of Service Excellence
These new generation of Cloud computing professionals will be enabled to proactively identify customer needs and sustain a culture of service excellence within the organisation with skills acquired. By embarking on the CLT programme, Aviva hopes to add value to the eco-system of IT professionals in Singapore and empower its growth.
«As companies continue to compete in the digital age, it is imperative to help the workforce embrace inevitable change and future-proof them. This will help organisations retain talent and strengthen internal capability,» Anuradha Purbey, People Director at Aviva Singapore, said.
