Manufacturing pros get training to address skills gaps

A total of 805 engineers have been successfully trained through Workforce Skills Qualifications training programmes.

The 8 WSQ training programmes were funded by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency and developed by the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology, a research institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research.

“This partnership sets a solid foundation to provide technology courses enhanced with case-studies and hands-on lab sessions for manufacturing PMETs from various industry clusters to meet the technology and skills gaps,” said the statement.

It added that 268 graduands from 126 organisations for the six PE WSQ training programmes in manufacturing processes, mechatronics, precision measurements, medtech and manufacturing operation management received their diplomas from Mr Wong Hong Kuan, Chief Executive of WDA.

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.
