As the world continues to embrace technological advancements, the demand for professionals skilled in cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) is at an all-time high. Vertical Institute, one of Singapore’s leading educational institutions, has responded to this growing need by launching a
Generative AI course aimed at empowering professionals with in-demand skills. This course arrives at a crucial moment, as more Singaporeans are turning to professional development opportunities to future-proof their careers in the face of an evolving job market and economic challenges.
Over the past year, Vertical Institute has recorded a significant surge in enrolments across its range of digital skills courses. In the last nine months alone, the institute has seen a sharp increase in professionals seeking advanced training, driven largely by the government’s initiatives to promote upskilling through subsidies and support for continuing education.
According to Vertical Institute’s data, 71.67% of their students attribute the affordability of the courses, thanks to government subsidies, as a key reason for their enrolment. Flexibility and job placement assistance have also been significant motivators for students.
Generative AI, a rapidly expanding branch of AI, is already transforming industries globally. From creating realistic content to optimizing complex operations and enhancing cybersecurity, AI is reshaping the way businesses operate. This course from Vertical Institute is tailored to provide practical, hands-on training in AI applications.
Participants will explore key concepts such as ChatGPT techniques, automation strategies, and integrating OpenAI APIs to tackle real-world business challenges. Additionally, the course addresses the ethical and security implications of AI to ensure that professionals are well-equipped to apply these technologies responsibly.
“AI technologies are rapidly transforming industries like finance, healthcare, and retail by enhancing data-driven decision-making and improving automation processes,” said Dr. Peter Finn, Co-Founder and CEO of Synectify and an instructor at Vertical Institute. “Our Generative AI course is designed to equip professionals with practical skills to harness AI’s potential for innovation and efficiency.”
This initiative by Vertical Institute comes at a time when Singapore’s government is prioritizing AI adoption through efforts like the National AI Strategy 2.0, which aims to empower businesses—especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs)—to leverage AI technologies. According to recent data, more than half of the companies in Singapore have already implemented AI solutions, further demonstrating the technology’s growing influence across multiple sectors.
Vertical Institute’s courses stand out not only for their technical depth but also for the flexibility they offer. With an online learning platform, professionals can easily manage their current responsibilities while upgrading their skills. Instructors, who are experts in their respective fields, offer personalized feedback and support through 1-on-1 consultations, ensuring that each student receives the guidance they need to succeed.
Additionally, Vertical Institute provides a comprehensive Job Placement Assistance (JPA) program to help graduates transition into new roles, connecting them with employers actively seeking AI talent. With an average annual salary of S$90,000 for AI professionals in Singapore, pursuing a career in AI offers both job security and substantial financial rewards.
With more than 15,000 alumni to date, many of whom have successfully transitioned into high-demand fields like data science, cybersecurity, and now AI, Vertical Institute continues to be at the forefront of preparing individuals for the jobs of tomorrow. I
