Government requires large construction firms to undergo CET

Companies have 12 months to implement CET measures to be able to bid government projects.

The national drive to boost productivity across all sectors in Singapore has been extended to the construction sector. All large construction firms must show that they are committed to Continuing Education Training (CET) in order to bid for government projects, according to an Enterprise One report.

The move is aimed at enhancing skills, and also driving competitiveness and the capacity to handle more complex projects.

From November 2010, all large construction firms have to put CET initiatives in place in order to register on the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Contractors Registry. They have 12 months to do so.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
