With the reorganisation of WDA into WSG and SSG, we will be able to better serve the needs of jobseekers, individuals seeking to advance their careers through upgrading, employers seeking to upgrade their employees and training providers looking to develop their capabilities.

 

This reorganisation enables SSG to better focus on leveraging the strengths of the Institutes of Higher Learning – ITE, polytechnics, and universities – as well as private training providers to move SkillsFuture efforts forward as part of a holistic system of life-long learning.

 

WSG will focus on helping Singaporeans take on quality jobs and careers. In particular, it will seek to strengthen the Singaporean core and promote the development, competitiveness, and employability of the Singapore workforce, with good matching of manpower supply with industry demand.
