The Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) announced plans to form a new Tripartite Jobs Council (TJC) to help workers and businesses navigate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs and workforce transformation.
The council aims to support responsible AI adoption while ensuring workers are equipped with the skills needed for an evolving economy.
The TJC will focus on three key areas: supporting workforce transformation alongside AI adoption, strengthening worker training and transition support, and increasing public awareness and AI readiness.
The initiative reflects growing recognition that while AI can improve productivity and create new opportunities, it may also widen skills gaps and reshape existing job roles.
To support workers, the government will introduce additional AI-related initiatives, including AI-readiness assessment tools, curated AI training programmes, and temporary access to premium AI tools for selected SkillsFuture course participants.
NTUC also announced expanded support for workers through AI learning pathways and access to selected AI productivity tools under the Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP).
For employers, the government and tripartite partners will continue supporting workforce transformation through programmes such as the SkillsFuture Workforce Development Grant (Job Redesign+), which provides funding support for job redesign and AI adoption initiatives.
What this means for your company:
• AI workforce transformation is accelerating: Companies should prepare for changing job scopes and evolving skill requirements.
• Upskilling will become increasingly important: AI-related training and workforce development initiatives are expected to expand further.
• Job redesign may become a key priority: Businesses may need to review workflows and redesign roles alongside AI adoption.
• Government support is available: Employers can tap on grants and workforce transformation programmes to support AI readiness and capability building.
