The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Mr. Hor Weng Yew, Chairman of Singapore Maritime Foundation, and Professor Susanna Leong, Dean of NUS School of Continuing and Lifelong Education.

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.

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.
