What is the key for succeeding in the future?
It is a strong objective for the Singapore Government to prepare Singapore
for succeeding in the New Economy which will require its knowledge workers
and managers to be able to work as an integral part of a technologically
savvy global workforce.
The University of Queensland helps prepare the way for this by offering
a Masters degree in Technology Management and E-Business in Singapore
in cooperation with the Singapore Institute of Management. Even the teaching
process is practice for the environment that most of the managers and
executives will encounter in the high tech jobs that are offered now and
in the future and that is by means of the University of Queensland's E-Learning
system.
The E-Learning system allows Singaporeans to share their ideas with
fellow students in Hong Kong and Australia, where they can learn from
the experiences and knowledge on what the latest opportunities are. They
can also develop a network of contacts with other promising executives
and managers who are working their way wisely into the New Economy.
Most busy executives and managers do not have the time to take away from
their jobs or family life, so that they can dedicate it to developing
these skills and qualifications. This is the true benefit of the E-Learning
process, for it allows them to plan their work and home life without having
to attend hours of lectures on a weekly basis in listening to lectures.
The course presentation is planned for the knowledge workers who have
busy travel schedules and demanding lifestyles. Some students travel up
to 70% of their time and can still succeed at getting great value out
of the course material and study.
