Jurong Port Academy to upskill port workers

It will leverage new tech for more efficiency.

Jurong Port has launched a new academy to help create a future-ready workfoce. The new Jurong Port Academy will leverage new technology and innovation to enhance capabilities, increase productivity and upskill port workers.

The new Jurong Port Academy will train and certify port professionals to apply the latest port mechanisation and automation technologies. Besides the Academy’s premises at e2i, Jurong Port has built a dedicated training yard within the port for workers to conduct hands-on equipment training.

The establishment of the Jurong Port Academy involved consultation with government agencies such as the Marine and Port Authority who provided strong backing and funding support.

Representatives of the workers and stevedore community in Jurong Port have also played a significant role. Close to $3m have been invested in the Jurong Port Academy.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
