The Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) enhances the competitiveness of our workforce by encouraging workers to learn for life, and advance with skills. This will in turn help our companies compete, and strengthen our economy.

In today's workplace, most jobs require knowledge as well as skills, which include the right attitude for the job, foundational and technical competencies. Many employers therefore look for and value workers with the right skills to do the job. Hence, WDA's role is to develop and strengthen skills-based training for adult workers to upgrade and advance in their careers and lives, over and above academic upgrading pathways.

To achieve this, WDA is developing a Continuing Education and Training (CET) infrastructure under the CET Masterplan, announced by the Prime Minister in Feb 2008. We work with many partners, including employers, industry associations, the Union and training organisations, to develop skills-based training that are relevant to industries, accessible and open to all in the workforce - young and old, from rank and file to professionals and executives.

A key initiative under the Masterplan is to continue to strengthen the Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) system as a national credentialling system for skills. WSQ is relevant to and recognised by industry, embraces adult learning principles, and provides means and pathway to help all workers learn for life, and advance with skills.

Responsibilities

You will be part of a team working with industry stakeholders to develop and implement manpower development strategies for the Early Childhood Care & Education and Student Care sectors.

You will be responsible for promoting and managing the implementation of WDA's Early Childhood Care & Education and Student Care Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) competency frameworks, which are part of the national Continuing Education and Training (CET) system. Other than industry engagements, your key responsibilities will include taking on industry analysis to identify issues and challenges, identifying industry and company needs to design customised intervention strategies and programmes, implementing outreach strategies to ensure programme success and facilitating stakeholders in the implementation process. As part of programme implementation, you will be given opportunities to engage a diverse group of stakeholders including training providers, industry associations, economic agencies, companies, media and training seekers.

Requirements:

Good degree with minimum 2 years of working experience. Experience in the Early Childhood Care & Education and/or Student Care sector(s) would be an advantage.
