T3M
Traineeship in Technology Transfer Management
The T3M is a two-year programme that aims to provide skills training and upgrading opportunities for Singaporeans and Singapore Permanent Residents in the areas of Intellectual Property (IP) Management, Commercialisation of Technology and Research, and Technopreneurship.
It is a new initiative to train and equip Professionals, Managers, and Engineers (PMEs) with relevant knowledge and skills in the field of technology transfer.
The traineeship is organized by Exploit Technologies, and funded by the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).

The T3M programme will have a mix-mode pedagogy which comprises:

- On-the-job Project-oriented Training
During these two years, the selected trainees are required to complete a structured curriculum that aims to train and equip them with the relevant knowledge and skills to manage technology transfer. Click here to see the list of training modules.
Concurrently, the trainees will undergo job rotations within Exploit Technologies and other relevant facilities within A*STAR to acquire on-the-job (OJT) training. During the OJT, trainees will have the opportunities to learn how to manage A*STAR’s intellectual properties, market and commercialise A*STAR’s technologies, and assist researchers in their fund raising efforts for their new ventures.
Upon completion of the programme, the trainees will be awarded the “Professional Traineeship Certificate (PTC) for Technology Transfer Management” by Exploit Technologies.
