New skills pathway launched to attract people to work in cybersecurity sector

The Education Ministry is fine-tuning the micro-credentials landscape to make it easier for adult learners. Micro-credentials are short courses that teach a specific topic. These can then be stacked together for a full qualification. Meanwhile, a Skills Pathway -- which provides industry-related training that leads to certifications -- has been launched for the cybersecurity sector. Mr Sam Liew, president of the Singapore Computer Society, and Mr Alvin Aloysius Goh, executive director of the Singapore Human Resource Institute, discussed how these will attract mid-career workers to the sector.

Wow! Another great accomplishment by the PAP govt once again.❤❤

[@nicholasgoh3526]

I support all these government initiatives but they keep harping on upskilling as though the workers don’t have the right skills and this is what constitutes the unemployment right now. Its seems they have ran out of ideas and it’s the only solution they can think of. This has been going on for years but are we are still in the status quo.

We will not focus on cyber security entry. We want to make all cyber security aspirants to be hackers.

@autonomous4kpsf Can any ordinary citizen join and learn to become Hackers. What are the course fees?

[@LonganLee]

We need a course on how to be another LKY👀. And how to be Warren Buffet. And how to be olumpic sprint record holder hussein Bolt. We need the course participants to finish the course and create these talents. Finger cross

“Not only do PAP MPs work part-time, they use residents’ money to outsource to managing agents the work they are supposed to do. Managing agents are private, profit-making agencies. They add another layer of expenses for residents,” Dr Chee said.

@martindawn934 The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has been ordered to put up a correction notice on it's social media post, after it published false statements about the case of three women charged with organising a procession along the perimeter of the Istana without a permit.

What's the point of all these trainings and certifications if there are no suitable jobs?

[@martindawn934]

This is why PAP-run town councils keep on raising S&CC, the last round of increase (by as much as $17/month/unit) came in the last couple of years.”

And WP's also raised AHTC and Sengkang S&CC charges.

Chee Soon Juan said: “This unfortunate description gives us an insight into his thinking - that an MP’s role is only a part-time gig.”

@martindawn934 "The SDP's post falsely suggested that the three women were instead charged fororganising support for the Palestine people." MHA added.
