To develop the capabilities of the water industry workforce, the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA), national water agency PUB, and the Singapore Water Association (SWA) have collaborated on a new training programme - the Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Used Water Treatment Technician Programme - for the water industry.
This collaboration is part of efforts to align PUB's Water Management Certification Programme to the WSQ training system.
This is aimed at raising the water industry's competency standards whilst benchmarking it against international best practices.
The Water Management Certification Programme comprises a series of training programmes that focus on technical skills and capabilities to manage the various aspects of the water cycle.
Up to 200 operator and technical-level workers in the water industry are set to benefit from WSQ training for the water industry over the next two years.
To date, close to S$1 million has been set aside to enhance the manpower capabilities of the water industry.
