Enhanced Internship is one of the national SkillsFuture initiatives for ITEs in Singapore to work hand-in-hand with industries to promote work-based skills acquisition and skills deepening. This is important to help the country build the skilled workforce of the future and to retain them in specific sectors to meet these sectors current and future needs.
As part of the official launch of the Enhanced Internships initiative, ITE organised a Symbolic Signing Ceremony for the ITE Internship Participation Agreement. Acting Minister for Education (Higher Education & Skills) Mr Ong Ye Kung was the Guest-of-Honor for the event. YCH Group had earlier signed the ITE Enhanced Internship Agreement and was thus invited for this Symbolic Signing Ceremony to signify our invaluable support. Representing YCH was Victor Yeow, Country General Manager of Singapore. YCH was one of the 110 companies, from sectors such as hospitality, engineering, business, and infocomm technology, inked agreements with ITE at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport hotel yesterday. Besides YCH, other companies there include the Fullerton Hotel, PSA Marine, OCBC Bank, Sentosa Development Corporation, SBS Transit and SMRT.
This symbolic signing ceremony was a milestone gathering of all the pioneering participating companies to send a strong signal to the media and the public about the endorsement and support of the industries for this manpower development partnership.
