Info-communications technology (ICT) is a key enabler in every industry in Singapore, and the demand for ICT professionals is increasing every year. To meet this need and equip professionals for the fast-growing digital economy, DigiPen (Singapore) offers a dynamic selection of programs that matches the needs of an ever-evolving industry. From 2018 to 2020, we offered the Attach-and-Train (AnT) Programmes in Artificial Intelligence (Games) Software Developer, Embedded Software Developer, and Cybersecurity Software Developer.
Since 2009, a variety of current and past programs have been offered. Today, DigiPen (Singapore) is one of the training providers for Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF) Technology in Finance Immersion Programmes (TFIP).

Past Continuing Education Programs
WSQ DigiPen®-Ubisoft® Campus Programme
The first Continuing Education program launched as the WSQ DigiPen®-Ubisoft® Campus Programme in 2009, a unique collaboration between DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore, Ubisoft Singapore, and the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (now separated into Workforce Singapore and SkillsFuture Singapore).
These Train-and-Place programs were launched to meet the economy’s growing demand for people in the interactive digital media sector. The program saw trainees undergo 10 months of learning and acquiring specialist technical skills under the mentorship of industry experts. Trainees chose from one of three tracks — programming, designing, or art — and spent five months gaining academic knowledge, followed by five months of on-the-job exposure. This helped to give each trainee a taste of industry life, and it also allowed them to apply their new skills in a professional setting.
