Workforce Development

One of SSIA's 3 Focus areas:

Growing & Developing our Workforce

SSIA’s priorities on workforce development include increasing awareness about the industry through communication campaigns, career fairs, and talks, including school talks. Key initiatives encompass Electronics Industry Day, Semiconductor Women’s Forum, IC Design Summer Camps, and the SAY Ambassador Programme. Additionally, SSIA offers a jobs portal and SgiS scholarships. To upgrade and upskill the workforce, SSIA provides industry-relevant courses through partners, Work-Study Programmes, and the Engineering Doctorate (EngD). Talent pipeline development is supported through the Career Conversion Program (CCP), Job Redesign Reskilling, and Volunteer Career Advisors (VCA). Leadership development is fostered through the IC Design Committee, Singapore Semiconductor Leadership Accelerator Programme (SSLA), and Leadership in Engineering for emerging managers.
