SGTech has unveiled the Generative AI for the Tech Workforce guide to help businesses leverage the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) solutions and identify related training needs for their employees.
This initiative is the tech trade association’s response to the Singapore government’s National AI Strategy 2.0 announced by Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in December.
As the skills development partner, SGTech is entrusted with articulating job
roles and skills requirements across both technology and non-technology sectors to address the evolving landscape of GenAI.
The resource guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview of GenAI and its impact on businesses, jobs and skills. It will serve as a practical guide for business owners and individuals seeking to navigate the evolving landscape.
Developed by SGTech in partnership with SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) and AI Singapore (AISG), the guide is targeted at business owners who are planning to adopt GenAI into the business transformation journey to improve business effectiveness or introduce new products and services.
With inputs from 30 pledging companies in GenAI skills adoption, the guide consists of three use cases incorporating GenAI in business solutioning, a tech talent profile and the spectrum of GenAI skills required for employees, and resources on support for business owners in adopting GenAI for businesses and their employees. It has been carefully curated, based on insights generated through industry consultations, to support skills development in GenAI for employees.
“The future of work relies on the flexibility of individuals and organisations to adopt technological advancements. Teaming up with AISG, we leverage GenAI to align skills needs with technological progress. This publication serves as a guide, directing professionals and enterprises toward a future where skills development seamlessly aligns with technological innovation,” said Benjamin Mah, Co-Chair of SGTech’s Talent Steering Committee.
