15,000 tourism workers in Sentosa to upskill in three years

The framework aims to implement at 100 initiatives and team up with 15 Island Partners.

Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) and NTUC LearningHub (NTUC LHUB) teamed up for a three-year long commitment to upskill 15,000 tourism workers in Sentosa.

SDC and NTUC LHUB signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to set up One Sentosa Transformation and Equipping Platform (1-STEP), a learning learning framework aimed at accelerating the transformation of Sentosa as a tourism destination.

1-STEP will offer new tourism-related programmes to workers on the island, reaching around 200 establishments including hotels, attractions, food and beverage outlets.

The training programmes are seen addressing common challenges faced by businesses in the island, including problems in customer service, sustainability, data and AI.

Over the course of three years, SDC and NTUC LHUB aim to implement at least 100 projects and initiatives through 1-STEP. They also target about 2,000 participants for its Sentosa Learning Festivals, and engage engage with at least 15 partners Island Partners and retain two tourism-related certifications.

The inaugural Sentosa Learning Festival from 24 June to 5 July already had nearly 1000 workers signed up in educational and training programmes, which includes masterclasses and tours.

The MoU was supported by Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) whose workforce makes up 70% of the Sentosa labourforce.

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.
