A new Continuing Education and Training (CET) Masterplan was launched this Wednesday, the 17th of September which is known as the CET 2020 and it will support the efforts to restructure the economy as well as build a career-resilient workforce.
The masterplan was unveiled by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) today. The WDA Chief Executive Ng Cher Pong said the masterplan will be all about changing relationships. “The focus will be on changing three key relationships — that with employers, with individuals and with training providers,” he said, speaking to reporters at the sidelines of the launch of the Lifelong Learning Institute. He added that the employers will be more involved in building skills whereas every individual would take their own career responsibility.The WDA added that the new masterplan will also support the work of the new tripartite committee led by Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
“We must aspire to move beyond competence and doing regular jobs, towards mastering skills. We must cherish and respect the mastery of skills – the knowledge, practice and passion that goes into mastering skills, no matter what the job,” said Mr Tharman, at the opening of Singapore’s second CET campus, the Lifelong Learning Institute. He further added “That has to be our ethos as a society, starting from young, as employers and colleagues at the workplace, in how we respond as consumers and in the way we regard each other as fellow citizens.”
