WDA unveils manpower, skills development initiatives for hotel industry

It’s aiming to help mid-career workers, for starters.

Singapore’s hotel industry workforce is poised for an upgrade, as the Workforce Development Agency today launched new manpower and skills development initiatives.

WDA announced it is launching two new initiatives—the Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) for Professional Executives and the Skills Framework for Hotel and Accommodation Services (HAS).

The PCP for Professional Executives is intended to help mid-career Singaporeans build careers in sales, project management and administrative roles. Overall, there are 2,100 vacancies available across hotel and various industries.

Meanwhile, the Skills Framework for HAS is the first Skills Framework to be launched under the national SkillsFuture initiative.

“Jointly developed by WDA and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), the framework will be a guide for individuals, employers and training providers, and serve as a common reference to identify key skills and competencies in new areas such as digital marketing, data analytics, revenue management and business process re-design,” said the WDA.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
