SMF, NUS develops data courses for maritime professionals
The courses are to adopt a stackable-skills and micro-credentials approach.
The Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) partnered with the National University of Singapore (NUS) to develop applied data science and analytics courses.
Under a memorandum of understanding (MOU), SMF and NUS will co-create blended-learning courses. These courses are designed to accommodate the family, social, and work commitments of working adults.
Certifications awarded to learners who satisfactorily complete these courses can be stacked towards a Master’s degree in the future.
A pilot run will be conducted in September 2024 to facilitate the exchange of ideas in curriculum design and domain knowledge.
SMF and NUS plans a full roll out of customised courses in the first quarter of 2025.
The courses are expected to empower maritime professionals to upskill and advance their careers with targeted domain skills, based on findings from SMF’s report of the Tripartite Advisory Panel for Future-ready Maritime Workforce, the SMF and NUS said in a press release.
