Singapore is to offer 1,000 traineeships, company attachments and training opportunities in the maritime sector to its people.
The initiative is being led by the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA), which has teamed-up with the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA), maritime companies and institutes of higher learning.
The courses are being developed in consultation with industry stakeholders, including companies in the port, shipping and maritime services subsectors, as well as the SSA, to meet the industry’s longer-term manpower needs, the MPA said.
