Future-Skilling the Workforce: SkillsFuture Movement in Singapore

Workforce development is an ongoing undertaking in Singapore. This includes both the pre-employmentEmployment education of students in the education system, and the continuing education and learning of incumbent workers. The workforce development system in Singapore is anchored on the tradition that stakeholders within the skills ecosystem must collaborate and coordinate closely to anticipate skills needs, disseminate insights, and measure skills progression and training outcomes. This is achieved through the regular charting of industry transformation from the business and economic perspectives, and the parallel review of human capital and skills demands for the future economy. A skilled and competitive workforce is the foundation of an inclusive society where everyone benefits from economic growth.
