The agreement was formalized at a launch event held on 21 September at Oracle China’s Beijing<\/span> campus, which brought together key stakeholders from academia, industry, and social organizations. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to developing talent aligned with the evolving digital economy by tailoring education to workforce needs.<\/p>\n

Singapore<\/span>: The Launchpad for ASEAN’s Digital Talent<\/b><\/p>\n

This comes at a crucial time as global studies forecast rapid job growth in AI, cloud, and data sectors, even as automation transforms industries. ASEAN’s digital economy alone is projected to reach US$1 trillion<\/span> by 2030[1]<\/span><\/sup>, yet more than half of employers cite digital skills shortages as a major obstacle. According to the Economic Development Board and Boston Consulting Group, demand for AI and digital technology talent in Southeast Asia<\/span> is already growing at 10\u201320% annually[2]<\/span><\/sup>, a pace that urgently calls for scalable, industry-ready pipelines.<\/p>\n

With its world-class talent ecosystem and training infrastructure, Singapore<\/span> is uniquely positioned to address this challenge, not only domestically but across the wider ASEAN region. Through its exclusive partnership with an industry-focused institution like Kingston<\/span> in Singapore<\/span>, this latest initiative will ensure that students are not only academically grounded but also fully career-ready professionals.<\/p>\n

Kingston’s<\/span> Mission: Fostering Employability<\/b><\/p>\n

Kingston<\/span> aims to bridge the gap between education and employment through a structured and personalized student support programme\u00a0that prepares students to enter the workforce with confidence. Alongside mentoring, industry immersion, internships, and industry-based projects, our programmes place a strong emphasis on soft skills and character development, equipping students with the communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities needed to transform classroom learning into immediate workplace impact.<\/p>\n

This partnership also includes Oracle WDP partner One-Tom (Beijing<\/span>) Internet Technology Co., Ltd and Murdoch University, which offer academic pathways for students to advance to degree-level and postgraduate studies. This collaborative program will continue to expand, incorporating more educational institutions and industry stakeholders to create a dynamic ecosystem that fosters innovation and enhances employability across ASEAN.<\/p>\n

“ASEAN’s digital economy is on track to reach US$1 trillion<\/span> by 2030, and Singapore<\/span> is perfectly placed to be the training hub for future-ready professionals,” said Ryan Goh<\/span>, CEO of Kingston International College<\/span>. “Through our partnership with Oracle China and One-Tom, Kingston<\/span> acts as the career launchpad, equipping students with the skills, experience, and networks to thrive in the global digital economy.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Call for Collaboration: Building the Future Workforce Together<\/b><\/p>\n

Kingston<\/span> and its partners invite educational institutions, government agencies, industry leaders, employers, and technology innovators to join this transformative initiative. By participating as pathway providers, internship hosts, project collaborators, mentors and industry sponsors can directly shape the next generation of AI and digital professionals while gaining privileged access to a pipeline of job-ready talent trained to meet tomorrow’s demands.<\/p>\n
