Spectra Academy

Overview of Spectra Academy Programme

The Spectra Academy, launched in March 2023, is a 24-week work-study programme to prepare eligible post-secondary students for admission to the ITE. Targeted at hands-on learners, this programme allows the students to deepen their career interests through formal training in an ITE Skills Subject (ISS), and an 8-week work attachment. Currently, the three ISSs offered are Culinary & Restaurant Operations, Retail & e-Commerce and Internet of Things Applications.

The programme aims to:

strengthen students’ socio-emotional competencies;
cultivate students’ disposition for lifelong learning; and
prepare students for work and life.

Key Stages of the Programme

Upon successful enrolment, students will be engaged in an intensive orientation programme in Stage 1 (Induction), before receiving the required training in Stage 2 (Preparation). In Stage 3 (Work Attachment), students will be attached to industry partners for work experience. In Stage 4, students will return to the Spectra Academy for assessments and debrief, before transiting to ITE / Work. Students will receive a stipend during their work attachment. We provide financial assistance to students who need financial help and bursaries.

Donors to the Spectra Academy

We would like to thank the generous donors through the Community Foundation of Singapore who have pledged to provide bursaries to help our students in achieving successful outcomes.
