IMDA expands job opportunities in media with updated skills framework

It will also launch apprenticeship programs in collaboration with seven media companies.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) has announced a refreshed Skills Framework for Media, incorporating emerging fields such as Virtual Production (VP) and Generative AI (GenAI).

IMDA said this will provide locals with more job and training opportunities in new tech areas, another new initiative is the company-led apprenticeship programme with media companies.

This updated framework outlines 195 job roles across nine tracks and includes 230 technical skills and competencies to equip media professionals for a rapidly evolving industry.

Additionally, IMDA will launch apprenticeship programs in collaboration with seven media companies, providing over 70 on-the-job training opportunities in content production, business management, and technical roles.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
