SINGAPORE - Diploma pathways created by the Institute of Technical Education have given graduates better pay and work prospects, said its chief executive Low Khah Gek on Thursday .

Those who attended the work-study diploma programme - under which employers work with ITE to train its graduates - had an average pay increase of 20 per cent, based on the first two cohorts who graduated in 2020 and 2021.

Ms Low credited the change from 10 small satellite campuses to to three mega-campuses to Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, who mooted the idea when he was minister for education from 1997 to 2003. "We keep a close tab on economic and industry developments as well as changing job roles and skills demand. Over the years, we have constantly reviewed and made changes to our Nitec and Higher Nitec courses so as to enable our graduates to secure good jobs and build their careers."

"While a number of ITE graduates progress to the polytechnics, there are still much unrealised aspirations." The institute now offers 36 such diplomas involving more than 400 companies and 1,884 trainees, up from four diplomas, 41 companies and an intake of 109 trainees in 2018.
