SMEs to be fitted with mentors as MTI launches new SkillsFuture programme

Over 400 mentors will be recruited.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore are about to become more competitive as the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) launches its SkillsFuture mentors programme, which will assign mentors to a number of businesses.

According to a speech by S Iswaran of the MTI, the programme will further enhance in developing SMEs’ workforce, strengthen their learning and develop their capabilities for business growth as they learn from the experience of mentors.

“Their deep knowledge of industry practices and experience in workplace learning and development mean that they are well-placed to provide valuable insights into capability upgrading for our SMEs,” Iswaran said.

Iswaran added that the mentors will be deployed to support SMEs over a nine-month period, during which they will study the enterprise’s learning and development systems and make recommendations for improvement.

“They will also assist with the review and enhancement of SMEs’ internship or On-the-Job (OJT) training plans, and help guide company supervisors and managers in training delivery,” he added.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
