SINGAPORE - Career counselling and coaching-related skills have become more significant and in demand, with business transformation taking place in almost all industries and changes to job roles, said

a SkillsFuture Singapore report on Saturday .

Job posting data showed that hiring demand for career coaches increased by 93 per cent from the second quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022. Companies hiring for such roles are largely in the energy, info-communications technology, consulting and recruitment, and financial services sectors. Saturday's report also highlighted two other trends: Education technologies and related skills are powering the training and adult education business; and there is increased recognition of the importance of workplace learning, and the need for capabilities to organise the workplace for learning.

It noted that in-house training sessions, on-the-job coaching, and self-initiated learning, such as through online platforms, are among the ways workplace learning takes place. The Jobs-Skills Quarterly Insights, along with the annual Skills Demand for the Future Economy report first launched last December, is part of efforts to improve SSG's sharing of insights on skills that matter to employers and the economy.
