NTUC launches ‘AI-Ready SG’ as one-stop platform to upskill workers
The move integrates job matching and sector-specific training.
The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) has launched the ‘AI-ready SG’ initiative to provide workers with skills and opportunities amidst the shift to artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace.
The initiative will serve as a one-stop platform to support workers and employers through skills development, business transformation, and improved job matching, said NTUC Secretary-General Ng Chee Meng.
In line with this, the group will offer AI training pathways aligned with national frameworks and tailored to workers’ skills, roles, and sectors.
Moreover, NTUC will roll out a funding scheme under AI-Ready SG. Eligible members can receive subsidies covering up to 50% of costs for AI tools and training, including software for productivity, content creation, and writing.
The subsidy will be piloted for two years, with training incorporated as part of the adoption process.
