WHAT ENTERPRISES CAN DO
Echoing his May Day Rally speech, Mr Ng said NTUC will also help businesses and workers use the company training committees (CTCs) to transform themselves to reap the benefits of AI “sector by sector, company by company”.
The CTC is a labour movement initiative first launched in 2019, in which employers are encouraged to form training committees with unions to work together on ways to boost worker career prospects and wages through structured training and technology adoption.
It is also supported by grant funding from NTUC of up to 70 per cent of the qualifying cost for each project.
More than 3,800 CTCs have been formed, with more than 300,000 blue- and white-collar workers benefiting from the projects and training, said Mr Ng.
While the labour movement has spearheaded the CTC initiative in the past, it will now do so with the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) as part of the new tripartite council in order to expand the CTCs nationwide, he said.
