Mr Zaqy noted that the Institution of Engineers Singapore is working with partners to develop a national engineering career progression pathway for technologists and technicians to give more recognition to skills acquired through engineering work experience and training. In that vein, some 700 students visited the IBEW this week, said BCA chief executive Hugh Lim, adding that employers can engage students through fruitful internships and work with the government to excite them about big, challenging projects they can look forward to working on.
He added that digitalisation can help redefine roles of site supervisors like resident engineers and technical officers and make them more attractive.
