EMA to study manpower in energy market

The Energy Market Authority and the Workforce Development Agency will study the "energy manpower landscape" in Singapore.

This comes as Singapore evolves to a "smart energy" hub that requires more high-tech and sustainable energy processes.

Workers in the energy market - from the oil and gas, petrochemical, power plants and clean energy sectors - will have their skills assessed and upgraded. There are more than 1,300 workers in the energy-related field.

The study will help EMA understand what is needed to develop stronger professionalism, clearer career pathways and more relevant training. According to EMA, "Findings from this landscape review will help EMA and WDA make an informed assessment on the required manpower capacity and competencies to support the needs of an energy sector that is growing both in size and complexity".

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
