A new Singpass-based system for taking attendance will be launched for SkillsFuture courses by the end of September to make it easier to validate that people have attended the courses, SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) chief executive Tan Kok Yam said on Thursday.
The move comes as an updated transformation road map was announced for the training and adult education sector on Thursday.
Mr Tan said the new system is meant to reduce the administrative burden on training providers as well as SSG, and is among one of the initiatives the government agency in charge of lifelong learning will roll out in 2023 as part of the sector’s transformation efforts.
He was speaking at the inaugural Training and Adult Education Conference at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, where Minister of State for Education and Manpower Gan Siow Huang launched the Training and Adult Education Industry Transformation Map (ITM) 2025.
The sector is tasked with supporting lifelong learning and developing the workforce as industries transform, and is pivotal in ensuring the success of the SkillsFuture movement, said Ms Gan.
Under the road map, which is an update of an earlier plan launched in 2018, a key strategy is to improve the relevance and responsiveness of the sector to training needs as Singapore prepares its economy for the future.
