Staying Relevant

How do we prepare our youth to be successful in a rapidly evolving working environment? With increasing automation, digitisation, and AI, what are job creators looking for from job-seekers?

Ask any business or employer what they desire in their employees and you will most likely hear versions of the following:

someone who can problem-solve

someone who can engage effectively with others

someone who is comfortable with ambiguity

someone who has grit

someone who can drive results

In fact, Forward SG, an initiative of the Singapore government to re-look at our social contract as Singapore journeys into the future, agrees.

One of its key focuses is on enhancing employability among graduates and supporting job transitions. Forward SG emphasizes the need to align educational outcomes with industry needs to ensure that graduates possess the necessary skills and competencies for the evolving job market.
