In October 2016, the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) went through a restructuring exercise and was reconstituted into Workforce Singapore Agency (WSG) which continues to come under the Ministry of Manpower. As part of this exercise, a new statutory board under the Ministry of Education, the SkillsFuture Singapore Agency (SSG) was also established.
SkillsFuture Singapore
At SSG, we drive and coordinate the implementation of the national SkillsFuture movement, promote a culture and holistic system of lifelong learning through the pursuit of skills mastery, and strengthen the ecosystem of quality education and training in Singapore.
Workforce Singapore
At WSG, we oversee the transformation of the local workforce and industry to meet ongoing economic challenges. We promote the development, competitiveness, inclusiveness, and employability of all levels of the workforce. This will ensure that all sectors of the economy are supported by a strong, inclusive Singaporean core.

Having spent time in both agencies, I have met many friendly colleagues and this translates to an open work environment as colleagues across different divisions share ideas and collaborate on different projects.”

There is generally a good balance of work and play, with various staff events happening regularly. I try to join whenever I can, as it is a great chance to meet new people and build rapport with your teammates. Of course, we work as hard as we play: my colleagues always go the extra mile to deliver in their roles. Overall, it is a vibrant organisation.”

The bosses encourage an open culture of communication where the staff members are free to voice opinions on the effectiveness of our programmes.”
