Manpower development is an important part of ensuring the sustainability and long-term growth of our business. As a strong supporter of the SkillsFuture movement, we use the Skills Framework to create our own training programmes and promote a culture of lifelong learning within the organisation. We encourage our employees to build skills and find ways to participate in new areas. For instance, employees who used to run our gas-fired power plants are now also trained to manage our green energy solutions such as Energy Storage Systems.
The Sembcorp Academy is our centralised global learning management platform, featuring a range of learning modules, including instructor-led and virtual sessions, on-the-job training, asynchronous e-learning, and external programmes such as LinkedIn courses. The Academy currently offers close to 400 bite-sized e-learning courses to employees across the group. These courses are holistic and cross-functional, designed to meet Sembcorp’s evolving business needs and capabilities.
And about 60 of these courses specifically focus on renewable energy, aiming to equip all employees with the necessary skills, competencies, and proficiencies to excel in their roles. By emphasising on digital content, our employees are able to upskill remotely, fostering a culture of continuous learning where they are empowered to take charge of their own development.
Besides the Academy, our solar business unit works with Institutes of Higher Learning such as Singapore Polytechnic and Institute of Technical Education to develop certified curriculum focused on solar energy competency. This ensures a high-quality and safety standard during the development of Sembcorp’s photovoltaic systems and in turn, helps with the upskilling of the local workforce in the industry. As a testimony to this, Sembcorp Solar Singapore was conferred the Singapore Energy Award 2022 by EMA for playing a core role in driving capability development in Singapore’s solar industry. That same year, we were also awarded the SkillsFuture Employer Awards (Gold).
