PSB Academy’s School of Engineering and Technology signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) , the world’s largest cybersecurity technical certification body , to launch skills-based training programmes targeted at enhancing cybersecurity awareness and capabilities among professionals in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector in Singapore. According to Communications and Information Minister Yaacob Ibrahim , there were 15,000 vacancies in the sector last year.
“EC-Council certified professionals have become one of the most sought after by employers worldwide. A partnership with PSB Academy would allow our EC-Council courses, which are recognised worldwide and have received endorsements from various government agencies including the United States Federal Government (via the Montgomery GI Bill) and the National Security Agency (NSA), become accessible to a growing number of IT professionals looking to acquire real, tactical cyber security skills and accreditation, and help an increasingly digitally-connected Singapore bridge the skill gap in cyber security,” said Breyvan Tan, Managing Director, Wissen International (EC-Council ASEAN Sole Representative).
