NUS ELT Event by Linhart Group : SMEs Growth

Topic: SMEs Growth: A Talent Conundrum?

Human Capital is one of Singapore's greatest assets and SMEs need to continue to prioritize the development of its workforce. For the Singaporean workers, it is critical for them to deepen their expertise and access new opportunities, so that our SMEs can expand their businesses alongside a growing local talent pool. With many uncertainties still in the horizon, SMEs must adopt a growth mindset to enhance workforce transformation and capability building efforts in tandem with government policies. For example, SMEs can bridge the skills gaps of their existing workforce by hiring and training mid-career job-seekers who possess a wealth of experience and transferable skills.

Our speakers will include speakers from WSG and SBF who will provide the background and insights on policies and initiatives on manpower/talent development issues particularly on the grants, programmes available for up-skilling referencing the industry transformation roadmaps, and a few case studies.

A SME leader will also share initiatives to attract, hire and retain the talent necessary for a growth and internationalisation strategy.

The presentations will be followed by Q&As and a dialogue session with the participants.

Only NUS-ELT Programme alumni and participants can sign up as identification would be required for entry into the event premises.

21 April 2022 (Tues) at 4:30 PM at NUS Business School Room #5-3.
