VMware: powering Singapore’s innovation economy
In an announcement made by VMware the company has announced its commitments to power Singapore's innovation economy, by enabling a future ready workforce.
In its efforts to achieve this, VMware has launched a pilot training initiative called ‘Getting Future Ready’. The initiative aims to deepen expertise and specialisation in next generation technology. The flexible program that runs for eight weeks, is available to VMware customers and partners that enroll in the SGUnited Traineeship program.
