THE Infocomm Media Development Authority and consumer Internet firm Sea Ltd have signed a memorandum of intent for a new programme to train 500 Singaporeans at Shopee, the e-commerce arm of Sea.
All"suitable" trainees who complete the training will be employed by the business entities under Sea, which include Shopee and Garena Online, said IMDA and Sea in a joint statement on Friday. There were no further details on the hiring assessment. Aimed at developing local tech talent, the programme will take in 400 entry-level and 100 mid-career job seekers. They will undergo six months of"on-the-job or instructor-led structured training" at Shopee, in areas such as product management, software engineering and user experience design.
Trainees will get a mentor or project adviser within the same department and receive an undisclosed monthly salary during the training period. IMDA and Sea said the programme, when implemented, will be the largest TechSkills Accelerator company-led training programme by a Singapore-based company. It seeks to boost the trainees' employment and employability outcomes, as part of the broader SGUnited Jobs and Skills initiative.
