The centre offers six purpose-built workspaces located in Suntec, Tower Four, where companies can create custom digital blueprints to scale their business strategies and share best practices. Additionally, it will host on-demand training sessions in collaboration with academia, customers, and partners committed to skilling Singaporeans.

As part of this initiative, ServiceNow and NTUC LearningHub have signed an Academic Partnership agreement to deliver low-code digital courses to over 1,000 individuals by 2024. The first course, the ServiceNow low-code citizen developer course, is currently available and subsidized by SkillsFuture Singapore, a government initiative aimed at enhancing accessibility to skills training.

Jeremy Ong, CEO of NTUC LearningHub, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Our commitment to equipping the workforce with job-ready skills is strengthened by partnerships with world-class organizations like ServiceNow. The low-code course will empower individuals to acquire transferable skills across various job functions and industries.”
