PwC Singapore commits $10m to upskill over 3,000 employees

They will receive training in data visualisation, data analytics and automation.

PwC Singapore has pledged close to $10m over the next two years in an effort to enhance the digital skills of more than 3,500 of its employees, the company announced.

The group will go through more than 80,000 hours of “digital fitness” training, which will be assisted via the company’s digital fitness app. Basic lessons include data visualisation, data analytics and automation.

A survey by PwC reveals that two in five Singaporeans are nervous about the future impact of technology in their jobs, with 31% feeling that they are not well-equipped for new workplace technologies.

On a global scale, PwC is aiming to upskill its 276,000-strong workforce. The company is setting aside $3b for the next four years to train the global workforce in specialist skills of data analytics, robotics process automation and artificial intelligence.

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.
