Company Training Committees (CTCs)

Championed by NTUC, the CTC aims to bring together unions and employers to develop concrete-level transformation plans to ensure the workforce remains future-ready, relevant, and resilient.

The CTCs is a collaborative and consultative approach, comprising management staff, union representatives and relevant partners to:
  • Identify the skills and training needs of employees to support the company's strategic vision and direction
  • Coordinate efforts to communicate and implement training plans to build new competencies, close existing skills gaps and enhance productivity through technical, adaptive and technology skills
  • Enhance and implement a workforce upgrading plan, to help ready employees for the evolution of jobs, stay relevant with new skills and be resilient to new ways of working, towards better jobs, better pay and better career progression
With CTCs, your business can benefit from customised road maps covering new products and services, technology, talent and other resource requirements to support business growth, while enabling employees to benefit from career progression.
