SINGAPORE, Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Vertical Institute, a leading education provider, is pleased to announce the launch of a new Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) course, to cater to rising demand for professional development courses in the digital sector.

Over the last 9 months, the institute recorded an increase in enrolments across its professional development courses. A key factor driving this surge is government support for upskilling initiatives. When polled, 71.67% of Vertical Institute’s students stated that affordability and government subsidies were the main factors for course enrolment.

AI Skills – Key to Career Growth in a Changing Job Market

The rapid rise of AI technologies has generated abundant opportunities, particularly in Generative AI. AI plays a crucial role across industries like finance, healthcare, and retail, where it is used to improve automation, enhance data-driven decision-making, and develop personalised customer experiences. Generative AI is employed in creating realistic content, optimising supply chains, and boosting cybersecurity by detecting anomalies in real-time.

Singapore’s government is actively supporting AI adoption through initiatives like the National AI Strategy 2.0, which focuses on empowering SMEs and building robust AI capabilities to ensure businesses can harness the potential of AI effectively[1]. In Singapore, around 53% of companies have deployed AI solutions as of 2024[2]. 

“AI technologies are transforming every sector, and it’s essential that professionals acquire the hands-on skills to navigate this change. Our Generative AI course provides industry-relevant training,” says Dr Peter Finn, Instructor at Vertical Institute, Co-Founder and CEO @ Synectify. “The course focuses on practical applications, allowing students to tackle the most pressing challenges with AI solutions that drive efficiency and that empower innovation in today’s tech-forward world.” 

According to Payscale[3], AI professionals in Singapore earn an average of S$90,000 annually, making it one of the most lucrative career paths for those seeking job security and advancement.

Flexible Learning Tailored for Busy Professionals

Vertical Institute stands out for its industry-led training, offering personalised feedback and support through 1-on-1 consultations with students. This model ensures that graduates are well-prepared to manage AI challenges for themselves and their organisations.

29,999,999,950 LTSC Transferred to Bluegrace Energy Bolivia Administrative Escrow Digital Wallet on Jan 10, 2025, at 05:46:24 AM UTC

Published

WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The underlying contract for billions of metric tonnes of voluntary market carbon offset was executed on Jan 1, 2025, and the transaction completed on Jan 10, 2025, marks a significant step forward in establishing LTSC as the foremost stablecoin digital currency facilitating seamless exchange between carbon offset providers and sellers.

Mr. Jean Bilala, Executive Chairman of Letscoin, stated that he is ready to proceed to the final step of the conversion of LTSC vs USDT. The contractual obligation and settlement of this placement will be done in parallel with the confirmation of the global carbon credit offset buyers.

When asked about the exit buyers’ confirmation and the market demand for this carbon credit offset, Dr. Thana Balan, the co-founder of LTSC, answered that the business is comprised of users that require carbon offsets. Given the global implementation of utilizing carbon credits to offset carbon footprints, this assists global businesses in achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

This process is ongoing, and it is a mandatory requirement that every industry producing a sizeable carbon footprint balances its carbon output with offsets. Industries such as airline operators, mining, oil & gas refining, and processing companies are all fully engaged. Any business that has a carbon footprint will need carbon credit offsets to operate in the very near future.

Regulations are already in place globally, which are implemented and followed. Letscoin is not alone in becoming the digital currency facilitator for this transaction. Associate, Kyoto Transformation Xchange (KTX), is developing a carbon credit tokenization system. This will include creating the system to identify measures and justify the value of the carbon footprint of all industries, land, agro facilities, reserve Amazon mapping, and more.

During their recent R&D technology meetings in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, KTX introduced rocket science and AI drone facility owners to collaborate and execute their mission of being the associated partner of LTSC.

The achievement of LTSC being the digital exchange medium connecting the trade of carbon credit offsets between providers and the end buyer is an important move to the stability and sustainability of LTSC in the digital stablecoin race globally.

LTSC has structured the “payment gateway” algorithm, generated automatically, which will become a user-friendly online application that can be adopted by any level of basic digital competency. Dr. Thana’s team has the mission to implement plans to facilitate local exchange trading for goods and services that is easily accessible by using the complementary currency programs.

With the adoption of agriculture and forestry lands in Indonesia, Africa, and South America under the agro and carbon footprint mapping, significant milestones have been achieved.

When asked about the execution schedules, Dr. Thana said the execution will be divided into various sectors:

Preservation of carbon footprintTrading of carbon offsetDigitalization of carbon footprint and data management

“Our main focus will be completing the exit sales of the current contract with Bluegrace/LTSC/USDT for the 3 billion metric tonnes of carbon credit offsets. End buyers’ confirmation has been obtained for the tabletop meeting with Bluegrace, which has been requested for Jan 20, 2025, in Europe.”

LTSC believes this meeting will be a great achievement and herald the completion of all the contract commitments signed on Jan 1, 2025, to the executors and the global carbon exchange market.
