PSA Corp and the Institution of Technical Education (ITE) are working together in a collaborative effort to help create more port specialists for Singapore’s future container terminals.
Today, both organisations signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) worth in excess of $2 million to equip ITE students with a deeper understanding of container port operations and technology.
The MOU was signed by Tan Puay Hin, regional CEO Southeast Asia, PSA International and Bruce Poh, ITE director and CEO.
Students from the engineering disciplines will be exposed to an array of port equipment and cutting-edge automation technologies, which PSA is implementing in its new container terminals.
Students from both the Higher National ITE Certificate (Higher Nitec) in Shipping Operations and Management, and the Higher NITEC in Logistics for International Trade, will be given internship opportunities at PSA.
Poh said: “It will provide our students with real workplace learning through internships, networking opportunities and professional guidance, and scholarships.
Puay Hin said: “We are applying more automation and intelligent technologies to transform our capabilities and enhance productivity. With this new level of collaboration, we will continue to develop the skilled talent PSA needs to grow as a global champion in our industry.”
