CHALLENGE

The SkillsFuture is a national movement which aims to provide Singaporeans with the opportunities to master skills and maximise their potential to secure better jobs, higher incomes and enjoy higher standards of living.

INITIATIVE

The Skills Framework for Tourism was jointly developed by the national skills agency (SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)), along with industry associations, training providers, organisations, and unions. It identifies Sector Information, Occupations and Job Roles within the sector, and existing and emerging skills required for skills and facilitate skills mastery.

IMPACT

The Framework served as a blueprint for the following groups:
a) Individuals – to assess their career interests and aspirations within the sector, identify relevant training programmes to upgrade and enhance their skills, and to prepare them to take on desired job roles and opportunities within the sector.
b) Employers – to recognise and understand the vital skills required for success in the tourism industry so that they may invest in training and development programmes to enhance their employees’ skills and support their career progression.
c) Training Providers – to gain insights on the latest sector trends and emerging skill sets that are in demand and to design and develop training programmes that cater to the specific needs of the industry.
