Singtel renews UTES pact with focus on AI and new skills

The training will be provided organisation wide.

Singtel has renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Union of Telecoms Employees of Singapore (UTES), reinforcing its commitment to workforce transformation with a strategic focus on artificial intelligence (AI), sustainability, and emerging skills.

This forms part of Singtel's multi-tier AI training target of training Singapore-based employees in AI, with 3,000 AI as practitioners and 300 as AI specialists.

The renewed partnership follows earlier investment commitments, including a $45m initiative launched in 2019 to advance digital skills over three years and a sustained annual investment of $20m since 2022 to support ongoing training.

In addition to internal training, Singtel’s AI strategy is structured around its roles as an adopter, builder-provider, and enabler of AI—leveraging its core businesses in connectivity, digital infrastructure, and digital services.

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.
