Introduction of WSQ
The Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) is a national credential system – a robust and integrated continuing education and training system. Designed to build industry competencies, it is founded on international best practices and validated by industries and employers. WSQ caters to adult workers who have widely diverse training needs; it offers a wide range of certification and qualification ranging from Certificate to Graduate Diploma. As a continuing education and training (CET) system, WSQ supports the SkillsFuture movement to:
Promote recognition of skills and competencies to facilitate progression, mastery and mobility;
Promote holistic development of the workforce through technical and generic skills and competencies;
Support economic development by professionalising skills and competencies to drive industry transformation, productivity and innovation efforts; and
Encourage lifelong learning.
Training programmes developed under the WSQ system are based on skills and competencies validated by employers, unions and professional bodies. This process ensures existing and emerging skills and competencies that are in demand are used to inform training and development under WSQ.
