Professional skill upgrades to come in modules soon

It would be present in jobs across 23 industries.

Professionals can expect to upgrade their skills through learning from "bite-sized modules" in the future, Senior Parliamentary Secretary Low Yen Ling said in a speech at Singapore Association for Private Education's (SAPE) conference.

These courses are expected to be relevant to around 23 industries' needs, as mapped out in Industry Transformation Maps (ITM).

The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) introduced this in 2016 to "sustain growth and competitiveness of Singapore's economy and industries."

Low added that there is a need for educators to customise and curate skills-based courses that are attractive to adult learners. These courses should be "bite-sized modules" and engaging.

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.
