Addressing a workshop on ‘Future of Work: Skill Architecture and Governance Model of India and Singapore’ ahead of the G20 Education Working Group meeting, Pradhan said “If we work together, there are many opportunities for both nations, especially in preparing the workforce of the future. This joint workshop will focus on leveraging Singapore’s expertise and knowledge.”

“Bridging the barriers in the skill sector will play an important role in changing the technology landscape,” he said.

The Skill development minister pointed out that three issues have been discussed between India and Singapore as the way forward for the development of new curricula for skills, frameworks for skill building in vocational education and higher education, compulsory apprenticeship and frameworks for lifelong skilling.

He said that the skilling subject developed by Singapore will be introduced in the school curriculum and efforts are on to integrate students of engineering and polytechnic colleges run by AICTE into the skill pool.

High Commissioner of Singapore to India Siman Wong said “There is a huge opportunity to extend this cooperation to the space of skilling.”

“Singapore follows a skilling philosophy of leaving no one behind, training for decent jobs and building a confident nation because a decent job increases the confidence of the individuals and their families,” he said.  (KNN Bureau)
