Skills to Advance

Skills to Advance aims to equip employees with the skills they need to progress in their current role or to adapt to the changing job market. These programmes empower employees to upskill or reskill to allow them progress in their personal and professional careers.

Working closely with small, medium-sized enterprises and multinationals in the region, Skills to Advance helps employers identify skills needs, adapt to market changes, and invest in their workforce by providing subsidized education and training to staff. Contact one our regional Senior Training Advisors to find out more.
