NTUC LearningHub (LHUB) will be helping the Labour Movement’s Company Training Committee (CTC) initiative by bringing together an ecosystem of knowledge and strategic partners for workers and companies undergoing transformation.

The announcement was made on 29 July at LHUB’s 15th anniversary celebration at the Intercontinental Hotel.

Some of these knowledge and strategic partners include MicrosoftOracle University and A*STAR.

In his welcome address, LHUB CEO Kwek Kok Kwong said that LHUB will work with companies to help them curate content based on their training needs and business outcomes. Doing so will help both workers and companies become Worker 4.0 and Company 4.0.

CTC Starter Kit

LHUB will also be piloting a CTC starter kit in the next few months.

The starter kit is made up of five courses that will help workers and companies make the first move into transformation. The courses include digital technology, lean thinking, design thinking, process automation and data literacy.

“Learning is a new daily essential. With the rapid pace of change, learning needs to happen almost daily for workers to keep up. Working alongside the Labour Movement, our tripartite partners, and our knowledge and strategic partners, LHUB will continue to source for the world’s best learning content and make it convenient and accessible to all workers,” said Mr Kwek.

To date, the Labour Movement has rolled out more than 60 CTCs.

  • What is a Company Training Committee?

A company training committee is an initiative implemented at the company level between union leaders and company management.

Working together, the committee will assess skills development gaps in the company, articulate Worker 4.0 and training requirements for the company, drive company-based training programmes identified in the company's Worker 4.0 plan, and coordinate feedback for training improvements.

Celebrating 15 Years

Since 2004, LHUB has evolved to become Singapore’s largest continuing education and training provider. It delivers over 180,000 training places a year.

Over the past 15 years, it has trained 21,000 organisations and delivered 2.4 million training places.

“As we look towards the future, we know there are challenges, and there is a lot of work to be done. All the various parts of the Labour Movement, and indeed beyond the Labour Movement, have a part to play in this. We are but only one gear in this clock and need to work in unison with the rest of the gears to achieve the desired national impact,” added Mr Kwek.
