Another wave of enhancements to two key infocomm training initiatives were announced today to stimulate the Singapore labour market. The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), administrator of the two programmes, explains that this move will encourage more retrenched individuals to take up infocomm training and improve their employment opportunities as a result.
With revised funding guidelines and increased training allowances, the enhancements in the Critical Infocomm Technology Resource Programme (CITREP) and the Strategic Manpower Conversion Programme (SMCP) will benefit more individuals. In view of the current economic conditions, these enhancements will encourage skills training and upgrading for enhanced employability.
In addition, the administration of CITREP and SMCP will now come under the purview of the National Infocomm Competency Centre (NICC). Comprising members from the infocomm industry, the NICC is attuned to the needs and concerns of the industry. This puts them in an ideal position to offer value-added counsel in the development of training, accreditation and certification programmes. The NICC's eventual goal is to function as the central body within and beyond the infocomm industry looking after all matters related to infocomm training.
