Singapore’s economic and social culture must evolve for us to achieve this transformation towards deep skills and innovation. All stakeholders – individuals, employers and industries – play a role in this process.
As individuals, we have to move beyond grades and qualifications, towards wanting to master what we do at work, and gain satisfaction from it. We must also develop a culture of mentorship and knowledge-sharing.
Employers must recognise that people are their biggest opportunity. They must look for and develop the potential in their people.
In industry, we need a new, collaborative culture, to take Singapore’s skills to a much higher level. This will be especially critical to developing capabilities among our SMEs, who individually often lack the capacity to attract and train people.
