Terence Ho on Skills and Workforce Development Agency Bill
Skills-first employment practices will be critical in the new ecosystem of learning and work, said NMP Terence Ho. This means recognising skills rather than just academic credentials as the primary currency for recruitment, career development and advancement. It also provides more mobility for workers and helps employers tap on a wider pool of talent and utilise skills more fully, he said. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (May 5), he wanted to know if the new Skills and Workforce Development Agency would continue to champion skills-first employment practices and what more can be done to get employers, workers and training providers on board.
