What the AIAP is
The AI Apprenticeship Programme (AIAP) is a full-time deep-skilling apprenticeship where apprentices train and work on real AI projects (including 100E). It is a primary route for building Singapore’s local AI-engineering talent, and a reported monthly stipend of around S$4,000 applies during the programme (confirm on AISG).
Why it matters to businesses
AI talent is scarce and competitive in Singapore, and the AIAP widens the pipeline of job-ready AI engineers — useful context if you are deciding between hiring, training and partnering. Eligibility is generally a Singapore Citizen with a relevant qualification and demonstrated Python/ML proficiency. Important: these are programmes a business applies for directly with the relevant Singapore agency. dgm is an independent AI-integration agency — not a registered or approved grant deliverer, and not a PSG pre-approved vendor or on any IMDA or Enterprise Singapore pre-approved solution list. dgm can help scope and build the AI project; eligibility, approval and any claim rest with you and the agency.
How to start
Check the AIAP page on the AI Singapore site for the next intake and eligibility. Support levels, caps, eligibility and round status change frequently — confirm the current details on the official programme page before relying on them.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Singapore businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm can help you scope the AI project that a programme would fund — but you apply to the programme directly, and dgm is not a PSG pre-approved vendor or registered grant deliverer. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
