The Institute of Technical Education (ITE) Singapore and Dell Technologies have joined forces to establish a Hybrid Cloud Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Centre, aiming to enhance digital skills and accelerate AI adoption. The centre, powered by Dell VxRail, supports up to 80 virtual machines and allows students to learn from any location, offering a flexible teaching environment.
The VDI Centre is designed to address the challenges faced by traditional classroom models, particularly highlighted during the pandemic. By eliminating the need for physical desktops, it provides students with access to advanced AI tools such as GenAI animation and 3D modelling, enhancing their learning experience. The centre also facilitates collaboration with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) on AI-focused projects, bridging the gap between education and real-world applications.
As part of this initiative, ITE aims to deliver a Universal Omniverse Experience (UOX), equipping staff and students with essential digital skills through training, upskilling, and certification in areas like cloud computing and virtualisation. Andy Sim, vice president and managing director of Dell Technologies Singapore, stated, “Our collaboration with ITE aims to nurture AI-savvy talent and enhance tech curricula, supporting enterprises and communities in building an AI-ready workforce.”
The partnership between ITE and Dell is underpinned by three pillars: training, skilling, and certifying. Dell will provide expertise in IT infrastructure and hybrid cloud, whilst collaborating with ITE to develop skill-building programmes. Additionally, short courses focused on technical certification will be offered to SMEs, with participants receiving a Certificate of Competency from ITE upon completion. This collaboration supports lifelong learning and strengthens ties with the technology sector, preparing an AI-ready workforce for the future.
