Singapore is consolidating its efforts in skills development and employment by merging SkillsFuture Singapore and Workforce Singapore into a new statutory board. The unified entity will commence operations on July 1, 2026, and operate for a two-year term concluding on June 30, 2028. This integration aims to streamline services and create a more cohesive system for supporting Singaporean workers and fostering lifelong learning. The move is expected to improve coordination between skills training and job placement initiatives. Details regarding the board’s structure and specific functions are yet to be announced. The government anticipates the merger will enhance the effectiveness of national workforce strategies. This consolidation reflects a broader push to adapt to evolving economic demands and ensure a future-ready workforce.
