COMAT - Shaping the T-Shape Workforce of 2020

COMAT has been providing consistently high quality instructor-led classroom training on IT applications since 1984. Today, 27 years since it was founded, the 100% owned subsidiary of ST Electronics has reinvented its capability and capacity to certify and train the T-Shape Workforce of the Future.

With technology being the key driver in shaping the business and economic landscape of tomorrow, the workforce competency in 2020 will be drastically different from those in 2011. Vertical domain expertise in technologies such as Microsoft and Oracle, or in specializations such as Project Management or IT Service Management, will no longer be sufficient. The workforce of the future needs to be equipped with new competencies to ensure they can contribute productively, compete effectively and collaborate purposefully.

With this clarity of vision, COMAT set out to design programs, develop accreditations and deepen alliances so we can offer industry-relevant and internationally recognised certifications and training programs to equip the T-Shape Workforce of the Future. These programs include Foundational-level competencies leading to certifications from CompTIA, ICDL and MOS, complemented by Core-level competencies leading to certifications from Cisco, EC-Council, Microsoft, Oracle, PMI, to name a few; and elevated by emerging-level competencies leading to certifications in Business Analytics, Cloud Computing, Green IT, IT Architecture and Mobile Computing. Together with our in-house developed Social Media and Financial Literacy programs, COMAT is now able to assist organizations in capability and capacity building to strengthen their human capital development and sharpen their competitive edge.
