Career Opportunities
The phenomenal growth of the infocomm industry has created a strong demand for infocomm professionals in Singapore. By the year 2010, Singapore will be transformed into a dynamic and vibrant information and communications technologies centre with a thriving knowledge-based economy. The fast growing infocomm industry, with its new applications, services and products, requires a great deal of integration of IT and telecommunication technologies. With further market liberalisation by IDA and new technological advancements such as 3G phones with video-on-demand, high-speed wireless Internet access, and PDAs with built-in Bluetooth, GPS and wireless Internet capabilities, exciting new applications and services in the infocomm industry are set to flourish.
Info-communications will continue to be a high growth sector as well as a key driver of the manufacturing, commerce and trading sectors. The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore has projected that the demand for infocomm professionals will escalate sharply to 250,000 over the next decade. As a graduate from this course, you can therefore look forward to many excellent job opportunities, such as an e-services solution developer, wireless Internet service developer, network system engineer, IT security specialist, multimedia system engineer, web services specialist or even computer gaming developer.
