Programme Overview
Do you love thinking about how people use platforms? Strengthen your career resilience by building seamless experiences while managing how data flows behind the scenes.
Train full-time for 3 months and kickstart your career as a Junior Full Stack Developer—with job placement support after graduation.
Where can this programme take me?
A Full Stack Developer builds both the front-end (user interface) and back-end (server, database) of web applications. They ensure a smooth user experience while managing the systems that support it, making them essential for creating and maintaining complete digital solutions.
After completing the programme, you’ll be ready to apply for entry-level roles such as Jr Full Stack Developer, Front-End Developer, Back-End Developer, or Software Engineer (Junior/Associate level).
These roles typically involve writing and testing code, building web applications, fixing bugs, and working closely with teams to create user-friendly digital products. Most graduates start in junior roles where they can continue learning on the job, with the potential to grow into more senior developer or technical specialist positions over time.
Will I need a background in tech or similar?
No qualifications or experience are needed to apply — just curiosity and enthusiasm for tech! This programme is open to anyone aged 21+ in Singapore who is an LTVP+, Citizen, or PR. While applying doesn’t guarantee a spot, you won’t be rejected for lacking formal education.

What our graduates are saying
Gazali
Full-Stack Developer
“Generation’s support is tremendous. They did not only teach us programming skills but also soft skills, which I apply in my current work. The last time when I graduated from poly, after giving the students’ diploma, they will let you find your own job. But with Generation, they supported us in many ways; securing mentors, apprenticeship, until we got full-time jobs.”

Patient Service Associate graduate
“I’m very thankful for Generation’s help and support. It really helped me get a job. You know, they really helped to educate on what it's like to be a PSA and what it's like to be in healthcare. So I would say there are no downsides to the course, only upsides. I'm so lucky that I could join this programme!”
Wenny
“I think Generation Singapore is doing something really noble here. A lot of preparation is put into this mentorship programme — right from the start when I was given a video training for the mentors. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity. I have learnt so much and all I wish for now is that my mentees get the job they want!”

How long will it take to find a job?
The runway to employment will look different for everyone as it depends on the individual’s background, interests, and commitment to the job search.
On average, our graduates spend between 3 to 6 months on their job search before securing employment. Some graduates may take up to a year. The process depends on the types of roles that individuals consider, their career motivations, as well as their technical competencies.
Some graduates also choose to explore further training options to advance their skillsets before looking for a full-time role.
Is there a guaranteed placement upon completion of the programme?
While Generation Singapore will provide employment support to all learners for up to 6 months after the completion of the programme, there is no guaranteed placement.
We do, however, share relevant job opportunities from our employer partners and and connect learners with them for interviews. Such interviews have led to internship and employment opportunities for some of our learners in the past.
