In Singapore, SMEs are extremely fortunate as the government has invested heavily in workforce reskilling programmes. We have had a head start in this aspect; as such, SME manufacturers should look into workforce retraining and the adoption of digital solutions in order to thrive in this rapidly changing global environment.
Here at Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF), we have the
Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) Manufacturing and the PCP Regional to help mid-career Professionals, Managers and Executives (PMEs) reskill with the necessary competencies to take on new jobs in the manufacturing sector. This helps manufacturing companies to tap on additional sources of manpower to meet their manpower needs. We also have the
place-and-train programme, such as the P-Max to assist SMEs to better recruit, train, manage and retain their newly-hired PMEs.
