ITE and BDx sign Singapore AI data centre training pact

MoU targets the job pipeline across all three colleges.

The Institute of Technical Education and BDx Data Centers signed a memorandum of understanding to build a talent pipeline for Singapore’s digital infrastructure sector, with a focus on preparing students for AI and data centre roles.

The agreement covers all three ITE colleges and will provide students with hands-on training at BDx’s AI-ready SIN1 facility, which also hosts a quantum computing testbed.

The partners said the initiative supports Singapore’s Green Data Centre Roadmap and Smart Nation goals by addressing demand for workers who can operate infrastructure underpinning AI, financial systems, and other essential services.

BDx Chief Executive Officer Mayank Srivastava said the partnership would help build a pipeline of local talent to support mission-critical operations across AI and digital infrastructure, whilst ITE Chief Executive Officer Peter Lam said the collaboration would embed real-world data centre operating scenarios into teaching modules so students graduate with job-ready skills.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
