The additional funding to the Maritime Cluster Fund (MCF)- Manpower Development (MD) programme will be used to introduce new initiatives as well as to step up existing efforts, MPA announced.
“MPA is committed to building a strong core of local talent in the maritime industry, which offers diverse career opportunities for Singaporeans in both seafaring and shore-based jobs,” said Andrew Tan, chief executive of MPA.
“The enhancement to the MCF-MD programme not only lends strong support to the national-level SkillsFuture initiative but also allows us to support more skills-based learning, upgrading, and re-skilling for those who want to switch careers. We will be announcing more initiatives on manpower development by the two taskforces in the coming months,” Tan said.
