jobs more often, and to upgrade their skills continuously
to keep pace with economic restructuring. To help
them, the Government will put in place a comprehensive
continuing education and training (CET) framework,
focused on enhancing the employability and competitiveness
of our workforce.

board under the Ministry of Manpower to enhance
the development and promotion of continuing education
and training for adults. The statutory board will
coordinate CET and employment assistance efforts
by working closely with various economic agencies,
as well as the private and people sectors.
3.64 The statutory board will build up professional
capabilities to strengthen the curriculum design
and delivery of adult education and training,
and promote the upgrading of all segments of the
workforce. It will also drive industry-focused
workforce development programmes and oversee the
training and placement of unemployed workers.
Its mission is to bring greater coherence and
coordination to the CET effort, and ensure that
our resources committed to workforce training
and employment assistance are effectively spent.
