NTUC LearningHub and Cybint Launches Singapores First Cybersecurity Bootcamp

Globally, the Cybint Bootcamp has over 90 percent career placement rate with graduates securing jobs at top-tier organizations such as Airbus and Orange and Managed Security Service (MSS) providers

FREMONT, CA: Singapore's leading continuing education and training provider, NTUC LearningHub (NTUC LHUB), and international cyber education leader Cybint launched the Cybint Bootcamp in Singapore, offering an accelerated path for Singaporeans seeking a promising new career in cybersecurity.

Developed by experts using military training methodologies from the Israel Defence Force, the Cybint Bootcamp is an intensive, 12-week immersive training program that equips professionals to be job-ready to enter the cybersecurity workforce.

In Singapore, the Cybint Bootcamp will be offered exclusively through NTUC LHUB and is supported under the Tech Immersion and Placement Programme (TIPP), under the Techskills Accelerator (TeSA) initiative. This will be the first cybersecurity immersive training supported by TIPP, and it aims to successfully build a robust pipeline of cybersecurity professionals to support Singapore's ambitions to be a cybersecurity hub.

Leveraging the strengths of NTUC LHUB and Cybint, participants in this program will undergo expert-led classes leveraging Cybint's learning platform, as well as career guidance and job preparation support from NTUC LHUB. To facilitate job placements for those looking for a career in cybersecurity upon graduating from the bootcamp, NTUC LHUB will support learners beyond the classroom through personalized career coaching and mentoring sessions with experienced mentors. NTUC LHUB's dedicated industry outreach and engagement unit will also organize virtual career fairs and leverage their recruitment platform to help bootcamp graduates land a job with their newly gained skills.

Subsidies are available to Singaporeans who intend to undergo a career switch to cybersecurity to take on entrant-level jobs in cybersecurity, such as Cybersecurity Operations, Incidence Response, Threat Analysis, and Cyber Forensics. The topics covered in the CybintBootcamp are aligned with the Skills Framework for Infocomm Technology in Singapore and the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework in the US.

"We are heartened that Cybint and LHUB are partnering to groom cybersecurity talent," said Chief Executive, IMDA, LewChuen Hong. "This bootcamp will allow more Singaporeans to gain tech skills in the growing cybersecurity field. As Singapore charts its way for economic recovery, we will step-up to create more jobs and opportunities for our people in the digital economy, through upskilling and reskilling. IMDA encourages more partners to come forward to work with us and provide a good diversity of tech jobs and training opportunities for Singaporeans."

This is Cybint and NTUC LHUB's second collaboration. NTUC LHUB partnered with Cybint last year to offer Cybint's Cyber Security Protection Program (CSPC), an expert-led cybersecurity training course that upskills and builds additional proficiency in professionals with cyber experience. To date, the program has trained over 1,000 professionals in Singapore through the short course format.
