WDA unveils manpower, skills development initiatives for hotel industry

It’s aiming to help mid-career workers, for starters.

Singapore’s hotel industry workforce is poised for an upgrade, as the Workforce Development Agency today launched new manpower and skills development initiatives.

WDA announced it is launching two new initiatives—the Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) for Professional Executives and the Skills Framework for Hotel and Accommodation Services (HAS).

The PCP for Professional Executives is intended to help mid-career Singaporeans build careers in sales, project management and administrative roles. Overall, there are 2,100 vacancies available across hotel and various industries.

Meanwhile, the Skills Framework for HAS is the first Skills Framework to be launched under the national SkillsFuture initiative.

“Jointly developed by WDA and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), the framework will be a guide for individuals, employers and training providers, and serve as a common reference to identify key skills and competencies in new areas such as digital marketing, data analytics, revenue management and business process re-design,” said the WDA.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
