You and your work: Skills utilisation in Singapore
English
Other sources
Experts from many international, regional and national agencies generously share their views, experiences and findings on skills, helping policy-makers among other stakeholders to understand the linkages between education, training and the world of work, and how to integrate skills into national development planning to promote employment and economic growth.
Access to training
Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.
This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.
Training quality and relevance
Research papers
Working papers, reports, and other publications from international organizations, academic institutions and bilateral agencies. Research findings to stimulate informed debate on skills, employment and productivity issues.
This Research Report on the Skills Utilisation (SU) in Singapore project focuses on skills utilisation in jobs located in Singapore, how skills are distributed across industries and occupations, and how skills utilisation may be explained by other factors. The benefits of creating skills utilisation data will help inform the appropriateness of the Continuing Education and Training (CET) supply strategy, the relevance of Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ), especially the Employability Skills (ES) framework, and knowledge on the extent of skill mismatches in Singapore.
