SkillsFuture Festival kicks off with forum on July 5

COMPANIES can learn how to upskill their workers to “stay competitive and nimble amid economic recovery” at the upcoming SkillsFuture Forum 2022 on Jul 5, organised by SkillsFuture Singapore and supported by The Business Times and SPH Media.

The virtual forum, “Making Upskilling Work: By The Workplace, For The Workplace”, will share how companies and employees can be supported by the government “through strategies and resources” in their learning journeys.

At the event, which runs from 9.15am to 11am, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing will give the opening speech as the guest-of-honour.

There will be 4 guest speakers: Tan Kok Yam, chief executive of SkillsFuture Singapore; Manohar Khiatani, senior executive director of CapitaLand Investment; Tan Ru-Ding, managing director of Flexmech Engineering; and Ang Wan May, managing partner of Egon Zehnder. The discussion will be moderated by Christopher Lim, digital editor of The Business Times.

Registration for the virtual forum ends on June 30.

At last year’s forum, Minister of State for Education and Manpower Gan Siow Huang – who was guest-of-honour – and industry leaders underscored the need for companies to immediately plan upskilling programmes even while embracing the ambiguity resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.
