SINGAPORE – Working adults looking to upgrade their skills or switch careers will have another avenue for support, with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) setting up a new school on Sept 1 to help them navigate their working lives.
The SIT School of Lifelong Learning and Career Development, or SITLearn, will help individuals assess existing skills, acquire knowledge and navigate career transitions, while connecting them with potential employers.
It will offer courses developed with industry partners to equip workers with skills in areas such as artificial intelligence and sustainable data centre operations.
Working adults will also be able to tap career guidance to identify skill gaps and plan their next career move. SIT president Chua Kee Chaing said the new school comes as AI reshapes jobs and the skills needed to perform them.
Citing projections by the World Economic Forum, Chua said at SIT’s convocation ceremony on Oct 12 that nearly four in 10 skills used in workplaces today are expected to change or become outdated by 2030.
