Singapore-based Vocalbeats.AI has partnered AI Singapore (AISG) to support the development of artificial intelligence talent through hands-on industry projects, the company announced on Tuesday (Nov 10).
Under the tie-up, apprentices in AISG’s AI Apprenticeship Programme (AIAP) will work alongside the Vocalbeats.AI team on practical AI development projects. The collaboration officially started in October 2026.
Vocalbeats.AI, which develops voice-AI applications in areas such as productivity and wellness for a global user base, will provide industry use cases, practical feedback and access to its team’s product development experience.
According to the release, AIAP combines structured training, mentorship and industry project work to build AI engineering capabilities. AISG is a national initiative driven by the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI), the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and the National Research Foundation (NRF) Singapore.
Building on university scholarships
The partnership builds on scholarships that Vocalbeats.AI set up earlier in 2026 at the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University, the company said.
Vocalbeats.AI chief executive Marco Lai Jinnan said developing AI talent requires both technical learning and chances to apply that knowledge to real problems.
Laurence Liew, Director of AI Innovation at AI Singapore, said the collaboration would give apprentices the chance “to tackle real industry challenges”.
Vocalbeats.AI said it also welcomes applied-AI professionals to explore opportunities with its global team.
