About Skills Ignition SG Traineeship Program

"Skills Ignition SG Traineeship Program" offered by Google Singapore is in partnership with Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), a statutory board in the Singapore government, with a mission of driving Singapore’s digital transformation. The traineeship program provides two specialized training tracks: Professional Cloud Architect or Digital Marketing. Participants will complete three months of external foundational training followed by nine months of on-the-job experience at Google Singapore, gaining practical skills and industry exposure. Street Smart will be responsible for curriculum development and lectures for the Professional Cloud Architect track during the program's initial three months, supporting trainees in preparing for the exam and obtaining Professional Cloud Architect certification. In the following nine months, trainees will undergo on-the-job training (OJT) at Google Singapore.
