ITE Singapore and Dell Technologies are combining academic excellence with real-life practical industry expertise and technology to close the AI skills gap, fostering innovation and accelerating digital transformation.
ITE has worked with Dell to establish a hybrid cloud Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Centre. It allows students to learn from anywhere regardless of hardware and enables flexible teaching.
The VDI Centre, powered by Dell VxRail, combines agility, scalability and efficiency with streamlined operations.
As part of establishing the VDI Centre, ITE aims to deliver a Universal Omniverse Experience (UOX). This will equip staff and students with essential digital skills through training, upskilling and certification in key areas such as cloud computing, virtualisation and AI.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 March 2025 – Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a hybrid cloud Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Centre at ITE aimed at enhancing digital skills development and accelerating AI adoption for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Andy Sim, vice president and managing director, Singapore, Dell Technologies and Low Khah Gek, chief executive officer, ITE at the opening ceremony of the VDI Centre
The VDI Centre supports up to 80 virtual machines accessible using any web browser. It allows students to learn from anywhere without worrying about hardware specifications, supporting more flexible teaching methods. Powered by Dell VxRail, the VDI Centre delivers agility, scalability and efficiency to enhance the learning experience.
Why Does It Matter? The traditional classroom model faced significant challenges during the pandemic, including resource bottlenecks and scheduling conflicts. This led to a rapid surge in demand for digital learning. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) eliminates the need for desktops and IT hardware to be physically located in the same space. It allows users to connect to a remote data centre over the Internet or local network, providing a fast and efficient experience wherever the student is and empowers ITE to offer more flexible teaching methods. Seamless Learning Experience at Scale Powered by Dell The VDI Centre, built on Dell VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), delivers agility and performance through automated lifecycle management.
The VDI Centre enables virtual lab clients to operate like physical PCs, but accessible from any web browser, offering a seamless user experience. It can run up to 80 virtual machines concurrently.
Using the virtual machines within the VDI Centre, students can gain access to advanced AI tools like GenAI animation and 3D modelling for experimentation and prototyping, enhancing their learning experience.
Additionally, the VDI Centre’s flexibility fosters collaboration with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) industry partners such as Convergent Systems (S) Pte Ltd, PilotPulse Pte Ltd, Ninety One Branding & Marketing Pte Ltd and Alteredverse Pte Ltd on AI-focused projects, bridging the gap between education and real-world applications.
As part of establishing the VDI Centre, ITE also aims to deliver a Universal Omniverse Experience (UOX). The UOX entails equipping staff and students with essential digital skills through training, upskilling and certification in key areas such as cloud computing, virtualisation and AI.
Combining academic excellence with real-life practical industry expertise, Dell and ITE are working towards closing the AI skills gap, fostering innovation and accelerating digital transformation. Collaborating to shape an AI-ready workforce ITE and Dell bring together their innovation and technology capabilities to train, upskill and certify ITE staff and students for an AI-ready workforce.
Train: Dell will provide expertise in IT infrastructure virtualisation and hybrid cloud, essential building blocks that power AI deployment, to enhance ITE’s curriculum and train its staff and students.
Skill:Dell will deliver state-of-the-art technology infrastructure while collaborating with ITE to develop skill-building programs that equip students with in-demand tech skills. To strengthen industry collaboration, ITE and Dell will host visitors at the VDI Centre, offering support to SMEs incubating industry projects that take advantage of VDI technology. Additionally, ITE will conduct workshops designed to help enterprises adopt and implement VDI solutions, driving cross-industry innovation and growth.
Certify:ITE and Dell are collaborating to offer short courses to SMEs focused on gaining technical certification in areas like AI and Data Centre virtualisation using the VDI Centre. Participants will receive a Certificate of Competency (CoC) from ITE upon completion of the course.
Underpinned by the three key pillars, the collaboration will support lifelong learning for ITE staff and students as well as strengthen ties with the technology sector.
Perspectives “Accelerating AI adoption for all is a purpose Dell and Singapore’s National AI Strategy share as enabled by the Singapore FY2025 budget’s Enterprise Compute Initiative dependent on reliable, local access to high-performance computing for AI development,”said Andy Sim, vice president and managing director, Singapore, Dell Technologies. “Our collaboration with ITE aims to nurture AI-savvy talent and enhance tech curricula, supporting enterprises and communities in building an AI-ready workforce.”
Low Khah Gek, chief executive officer, ITE, said, “By leveraging our partnership with Dell Technologies, we are not only enabling our learners to acquire new skills related to AI and virtualisation technologies but also preparing them for the future of work. The hybrid cloud VDI Centre empowers learners to access advanced tools and resources from anywhere, ensuring that our training remains flexible and impactful.

Number of Prudential Private Client Advisors serving HNW individuals rose six-fold since 2018 to meet increased demand for specialised wealth advisory services
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 March 2025 – Prudential Singapore (“Prudential”) has launched the Prudential Wealth Suite (“Wealth Suite”). It is an exclusive space for the life insurer’s Private Client Advisors (PCAs) to serve their expanding pool of high net worth (HNW) customers who seek comprehensive wealth and financial planning services in Singapore. The Wealth Suite is located within the insurer’s main customer service centre at Prudential Tower in Raffles Place, and opened its doors on 17 March 2025.
Prudential Singapore recently launched the Prudential Wealth Suite, an exclusive space for the life insurer’s Private Client Advisors such as Danny Susanto, Senior Executive Wealth Director, Prudential Financial Advisors Singapore (left) and Peiyi Tang, Master Financial Consultant, Prudential Singapore (middle), to serve the insurer’s expanding pool of high net worth customers.
Prudential’s HNW business has grown in recent years, mirroring Singapore’s rise in prominence as a leading international financial centre. The company saw a 16 per cent increase in its number of HNW customers from 2023 to 2024, driven by its financial representatives and advisors, and sales rose by over 40 per cent within the same time period.
With the millionaire population in Asia projected to more than double from 10 million in 2022 to 22 million in 2030,[1] Prudential anticipates leveraging this growth momentum to build on its HNW business.
Mr Goh Theng Kiat, Chief Customer Officer, Prudential Singapore, said: “The Prudential Wealth Suite is part of Prudential’s strategy to support the continued growth of wealthy individuals in Singapore and the region, and it is designed to deliver seamless and convenient holistic advisory to our high net worth customers.
“In tandem with the region’s growing pool of wealthy individuals who view Singapore as a global wealth hub, we anticipate that overseas customers will make up a significant portion of Prudential Wealth Suite users. These customers often have complex and globally connected portfolios, and appreciate Singapore’s strategic location for accessing Asian markets and a climate of stability in the country, making it their preferred location for wealth diversification solutions.”
The Wealth Suite offers a private, by-appointment-only environment where HNW customers can discuss their insurance and wealth management requirements with their PCA in comfort.
A special feature of the Wealth Suite is the presence of an in-house advisor who works together with PCAs to support HNW customers with more complex financial needs. Eligible HNW customers can additionally request to consult with an external panel of experts for tax and business advisory, legal and estate planning, fiduciary and trust services, family office advisory services as well as legacy giving.
“Tax planning is an integral part of financial planning for high net worth individuals with complex wealth structures and estate planning needs. Many of our wealthy customers seek ongoing guidance on tax-related matters to optimise their financial planning strategies. Another priority is growing and preserving their wealth, so we are focused on ensuring that we have the right advisors and solutions to meet their unique needs,” said Mr Goh.
In response to these priorities, Prudential offers a range of solutions from wealth accumulation to legacy planning for HNW customers, including its latest offering – PRUVantage Legacy Index – an indexed universal life insurance product designed to address HNW individuals’ protection and legacy planning needs. Prudential’s HNW customers also receive swift underwriting, priority service, and VIP medical services.
In 2018, Prudential set up a team of 60 PCAs who are specially trained to support the unique needs of HNW individuals. This group has since grown over six-fold in strength to more than 380 PCAs today. There are stringent criteria for Prudential financial representatives to become a PCA, including being a Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT)[2] qualifier with at least three years of licensed financial advisor experience in the industry.
“We invest in our Private Client Advisors to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver the highest level of advice and service to our growing clientele of high net worth customers. We now have more than 380 Private Client Advisors who are specially trained to advise our customers,” added Mr Goh.
In addition to in-house training, Prudential fully funds the professional development of its PCAs through customised courses designed by the Wealth Management Institute (WMI), a leading centre for wealth and asset management education and research. Through the WMI training, PCAs gain expertise in wealth structuring areas such as asset protection, liquidity planning, wealth accumulation, and wealth preservation.
About the Prudential Wealth Suite and Customer Service Centre
The Wealth Suite is located within Prudential’s new customer service centre (CSC) at Prudential Tower (30 Cecil Street, Singapore 049712) and commenced operations on 17 March 2025. The location may be familiar to some customers who would have been served at the CSC when it was housed in Prudential Tower back in 1999. The CSC was moved to the Marina One building in 2018, before being relocated back to Prudential Tower in 2025.
The CSC covers two floors at Prudential Tower, with the Wealth Suite situated on the mezzanine level. The entire CSC is constructed from eco-friendly, green-labelled materials, and is wheelchair-accessible. It offers a lounge-style environment with private servicing areas for customers.
Besides serving customers in-person, the CSC offers video servicing for all customers for greater convenience. Customers can make a video servicing appointment easily on the Prudential Singapore website.

Mr. Ricky Choi, Director of Smart Living at Cyberport, remarked: “Cyberport is thrilled to host both the ‘Live Local+ @CCF 2025: Positive Education Seminar’ and a recruitment expo on the same day, both closely tied to positive education and talent nurturing.

We look forward to further collaboration with partners to contribute to Hong Kong’s education and sustainability.”

Through the ZERO2 app, ‘Live Local+’ serves as a tech platform that digitizes positive education and ESG behaviors for students, teachers, and parents. With diverse activities and tasks, it enables them to easily track and measure their positive values and ESG impact both in and out of school. This helps students and parents apply their learning while allowing schools to build a digital record of ESG and positive education efforts. The core of ‘Live Local+’ lies in fostering happiness, social value, and well-being through a systematic, inclusive, and participatory approach to sustainable development and positive education.”
