SINGAPORE - Manufacturing firms and workers will get more help in preparing for the factory of the future, with a new programme developed by German giant Bosch, which aims to train about 1,500 workers and support 300 companies in the next five years.
In addition, a longer specialist course will be rolled out in the first quarter of next year, in partnership with the Singaporean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Chee Hong Tat said on a visit to Bosch on Wednesday that in the next stage of SkillsFuture, the enterprise pillar will be very crucial,"because we need to work closely with our industry partners to develop stronger capabilities and deepen the skills of our workforce".
"Many of the small and medium-sized enterprises are too small to have the resources and skill to develop the training programmes." The move to transform companies will help to grow Singapore's manufacturing capabilities, especially since it is unable to compete on cost, Mr Chee noted. Mr Roland Keller, president of Bosch Rexroth in Asean and Oceania, added that while there is much talk about Industry 4.0, there continues to be little traction. Training can generate this push and drive the adoption of advanced manufacturing.
