Purpose

It is an established fact that a capable and skilled workforce is essential for a productive and resilient economy, especially under the conditions of increasing international competition. An educated and learning workforce that exhibit appropriate behavioural characteristics is key in securing progressive improvements in productivity, adaptability, ingenuity and creativity. These attributes also expand the use, experience, and transferability of employees between industries and sectors. Highly qualified, knowledgeable and talented workers further contribute to innovation and technological progresses and competitiveness that is key to export growth.
