Developing knowledgeable workers

A MORE holistic human capital development takes centre stage with an emphasis on knowledge and skills as well as strong moral and ethical values.

It is aimed at developing knowledgeable workers who are competitive, flexible, dynamic and performance-oriented in a globalised world.

This, however, can only be achieved if a supportive environment and high performance culture are fostered with human capital development programmes that emphasise ethics, moral and spiritual values.

Access to industrial skills training will be increased to expand the supply of highly skilled human resource, particularly at diploma and advanced diploma levels.

The capacity of advanced training institutions will be expanded and upgraded and training programmes will be redesigned to meet the increasing demand for skilled workers with entrepreneurial skills.

The quality of industrial skills training will be enhanced through the acceleration of the development of a market-driven curriculum.

To improve the planning, designing and implementation of training programmes, the management information system in training agencies will be strengthened and the National Advisory Council on Education and Training will be established.
