Case Study: Singapore Polytechnic achieves stronger open source skills and job readiness with Red Hat Academy

Singapore Polytechnic Educates on Open Source with Red Hat Academy

Singapore Polytechnic, Singapore’s first polytechnic institute, wanted to strengthen its open source curriculum and help students build job-ready Linux and cloud skills amid a regional shortage of qualified IT professionals. To do this, it partnered with Red Hat and used Red Hat Academy, along with Red Hat System Administration courses and RHCSA/RHCE certification paths, to give students and faculty hands-on training and industry-recognized credentials.

Red Hat helped Singapore Polytechnic deliver flexible, web-based, task-focused learning with labs, support, and lecturer training, making the program practical and easy to integrate into existing courses. The result was stronger open source education for 15,900 students, better-prepared graduates for the high-demand IT market, and measurable value through globally recognized Red Hat certifications that improved students’ employability and the school’s reputation.
