Workato has launched the AI Institute Alliance in Singapore to accelerate talent development and innovation in the country, equipping the next-generation workforce with AI and automation skills.
"As AI disrupts the traditional model of higher education, universities can benefit from collaboration with industry to ensure that our graduates have the skills both to survive and to thrive in this brave new world," said Simon Chesterman, senior director of AI Governance at AI Singapore and vice provost at the National University of Singapore.
Building the next generation of AI talents
Collaborating with Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore University of Social Sciences, and National University of Singapore, the institute aims to offer advanced, enterprise-level automation skills, address changing global hiring needs and bridge the skills gap in AI and automation technologies.
"This alliance marks our latest effort in helping Singapore become a global AI hub," said June Lee, senior vice president and general manager APAC at Workato. By bringing together leading educational institutions with industry expertise, we are creating pathways for the next generation of AI talents to drive meaningful transformation across enterprises. We're not just teaching technology, we're shaping the future of work by creating good jobs and better lives for all Singaporeans."
Talent development
Aligning with Singapore's National AI Strategy 2.0, the partnership aims to deliver AI excellence and provide reskilling and upskilling opportunities for participants. Through Workato's agentic orchestration platform, participants can gain hands-on experience and skills to utilise AI, receive mentorship from experts, and secure internships with leading companies across Workato's ecosystem.
