Graduate Future-Ready with the Professional Competency Model (PCM)

NYP-PCM: In Demand, From Day One

Modern-day workplaces don’t run on siloed skill sets. The same applies to modern-day education. 

 

NYP’s Professional Competency Model schools you in core competencies for the profession of your choice, then helps you connect the dots to solve problems in a holistic way.

 

Shaped by industry, the PCM equips you with the skills and knowledge needed to perform real work tasks. That means you’ll acquire the exact skills and competencies sought after by your future employers.

 

Here’s an example: Rather than learn the A to Z of physics, you will learn the specific bits of math, the correct statistical methods that apply, plus the exact engineering know-how so that you obtain and analyse data from smart sensors. Top it all off with communication and public speaking skills – so you can present your findings and make your work count.

 

You’ll begin your career not just as a subject expert, but as a critical thinker with a complete skill set for your dream role.

 

And if you're furthering your studies, you'll be equipped with a strong foundation to help you excel in your academic pursuits.

Redefining education

Collaboratively created, taught and certified by industry majors and leading companies, NYP-PCM courses put you at the forefront of your discipline. Through the most up-to-date tools, approaches, and skill combinations, your skills will remain relevant and sought-after.

Integrated learning

Muhammad Nasrullah Bin Nazaruddin

Wary of how I would adapt from ITE to the PCM way of learning, I was pleasantly surprised that this approach enabled me to easily gain knowledge and skills. A testament to this is when my project, SignVision, a real-time sign-language AI translator, won the Lee Hsien Loong Interactive Digital Media (LHL-IDM) Smart Nation Award in 2023 and the Singapore Computer Society (SCS) Outstanding IT Youth Achievement Award in 2024. These achievements further fueled my passion for AI and analytics and solidified my dedication to continuing to innovate and excel in this field.
 
As a proud alumnus of NYP's innovative PCM programme, I am committed to championing the ethos of innovation and excellence, driving positive change in the ever-evolving landscape of technology and business.
