On the annual SkillsFuture Competition yesterday, Mr Chee Hong Tat, Senior Minister of State for Commerce and Business and Schooling, introduced plans to “equip the workforce for the Fourth Industrial Revolution”.

A few of these expertise embrace machine studying, entrepreneurship and information analytics.
In gentle of this, institutes of upper studying (IHLs) will probably be ramping up efforts to assist equip people in Singapore with these expertise.
Considered one of these IHLs is the Nationwide College of Singapore (NUS), who will begin a brand new Grasp of Science in Business four.zero course subsequent month.
The MSc Business four.zero course is obtainable on each full-time and part-time foundation, and its curriculum is “particularly designed in accordance with the Singapore Financial Growth Board’s (EDB) Singapore Sensible Business Readiness Index”.
In response to NUS, the course “boasts a curriculum the place studying takes place each contained in the classroom and out within the business”.

NUS can even present customised coaching modules for corporations, and in line with a report on The Straits Occasions, has already partnered 10 organisations together with United Abroad Financial institution (UOB) and the Institute for Human Useful resource Professionals.
IHLs can even work with one another and develop “stackable” modular programs in Business four.zero.
