Racks Central has reaffirmed its commitment to building a resilient and skilled workforce by participating in Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education (ITE) Work-Learn Technical Diploma (WSDip) programme. Since September 2018, this collaboration has focused on equipping students with the technical expertise and operational discipline needed for mission-critical, 24/7 data center operations.

Specialized Training Tracks

As part of the partnership, Racks Central offers hands-on training in two specialized tracks:

WSDip in Data Centre Infrastructure Operations

This track emphasizes the technical competencies required to manage and maintain complex data center infrastructure effectively.

WSDip in Facilities Management

This track prepares students to oversee facilities essential for seamless data center operations, combining technical knowledge with practical management skills.

These programmes blend structured classroom instruction with real-world, on-the-job training at Racks Central’s data centers. This integrated approach ensures students acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, making them industry-ready upon graduation.

A Proven Track Record of Success

Since the launch of the collaboration programme in 2019, Racks Central has onboarded and trained six batches of WSDip students. These participants have gained invaluable insights into data center operations and facilities management, helping to build a pipeline of skilled professionals ready to meet the demands of the industry.

"At Racks Central, we believe that investing in structured talent development is key to delivering consistent, high-quality data center services," said Bobby Wee, CEO, Racks Central. "Our partnership with ITE reflects our commitment to nurturing a future-ready workforce that upholds the highest standards of service excellence."

By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, Racks Central not only meets its manpower needs but also contributes to the broader ecosystem of skilled professionals in Singapore.
