Hi all, I got called up to attend the first interview for the ITE lecturer role.

I would appreciate some analysis on what is the expected salary that I should put in my application form for the lecturer role based on the latest norms. I am a local university (NTU) graduate with a directly relevant degree in the role that I am applying for, possesses the ACTA certificate and has about 7 years of relevant work experience, of which with 3.5 years conducting training for my company.

Currently holding only $4,570, annual about $70k. Greatly appreciate everyone's inputs.

went to ITE interview, walkthru etc, but was told that if join alr wanna get out, will be abit hard to join back industry, meaning get stuck here until retirement...

I got verbal offer from ITE

14 years of embedded system designer and software engineer

ITE offered 5.5k
Poly offered 6.8k
Private Uni offered 7.4k
Private coy offered 7.9k

Its strange that ITE pays significantly lesser. I told them not interested lolx

Very accurate on the ite and poly salary.
6.8k poly is as a senior lecturer mind you…. Might as well be MOE teacher

'...way above MOE teachers...'

ITE lecturer here. First of all: yes, we are teachers with a fancy job title. But we are way above MOE teachers as we prepare the students to be ready for the industry, which in turn will help them to earn a living. Coming to teach in ITE is a calling and you must be patient with the students. Having said that, the salary is not too shabby and the welfare/work-life balance cannot be found elsewhere.

For those in the lowest salary scale (for diploma holders with at least 3 years of full time working experience), salary ranges between 2700 to 2900. I fall under this category as my degree is from a private university, so I was employed based on my diploma. The cap for those in this scale is around 4300. But diploma holders with degrees from private unis can be emplaced to the degree holder salary scale. ITE does not hire fresh graduates (with diplomas and degrees), with the exception of the PE and Lifeskill department.

Degree holders with industry experience (at least 3 years full time), ITE will normally match or pay more than your current salary. Based on that, they will then place you in the appropriate salary scale.

There are 4 bonuses: mid year, end of year, 13th month (calendar year) and performance (financial year). No point competing with your colleagues for the performance bonus as the grades are given on a take-turn basis since everyone is doing the same job.

I'm surprised hearing that coming from a fellow educator. All educators serve the well-being of all students. We work very hard to prepare them for life, be in academic or for practical working skills. Hence, no one is 'way above' anyone else. I would like to think that we work hand-in-hand to prepare all of our students for life. I add that we are 'fellow educators'. It's sad to hear your perpective though.

you need to have a recognised degree and PGDE.
