Temus, a digital transformation firm based in Singapore, has announced the fourth iteration of its Step IT Up Singapore programme, aimed at converting individuals with no prior IT experience into tech professionals. This initiative will see at least 20 more Singaporean locals undergo a four-month intensive training to become certified OutSystems Low-Code Developers, with guaranteed positions at Temus upon completion. This move will bring the total number of trained individuals to 80, comprising nearly 20% of the company’s workforce.
Since its inception in August 2022, Step IT Up has attracted over 3,000 applications for just 60 spots. This year, Temus is enhancing its commitment to gender diversity by reserving five spots for women, supporting the SG Women in Tech initiative by the Infocomm Media Development Authority. Ng Lai Yee, CEO of Temus, emphasised the importance of investing in human capital to build a future-ready workforce, stating, “Our commitment remains clear: to strengthen Singapore’s digital talent pipeline and empower individuals, regardless of background, to shape their own digital future.”
The demand for low-code development is rising in the Asia Pacific, with one-third of enterprises recognising its importance for automation and business resilience. Temus, as OutSystems’ longest-serving partner in Southeast Asia, is expanding its capabilities to meet this demand. Stephen Yeo, Director at Temus, noted the programme’s success in equipping participants with essential skills, highlighting the company’s culture of mentorship.
Applications for the programme’s fourth intake are open, with training commencing in June 2025. Participants will receive comprehensive training in OutSystems platform best practices and essential soft skills, ensuring their readiness for the tech industry.
