NGEE Ann Polytechnic is set to play a bigger role in championing lifelong learning with the launch of a Continuing Education and Training Academy.

In three years' time, the academy will be training 10,000 adults a year in courses ranging from early childhood education to retail and IT.

This will expand on the role of Ngee Ann's existing Centre for Professional Development, which now trains 5,000 people a year in part-time diploma and workforce skills qualification courses.
