Singapore Employability Skills System (ESS)
The Singapore Employability Skills System (ESS) equips our workforce with generic and portable skills that will enable workers to better adapt to new job demands, work challenges and changing work environment. Employability skills have been identified on the basis that workers can transfer and apply these skills across industries and jobs. These skills apply to three broad occupational levels: operations, supervisory and managerial.
It is part of the Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) framework, which is a robust and integrated continuing education and training system designed to build industry competencies.
A Statement of Attainment (SOA) is awarded to a trainee who:
1. Attain at least 75% attendance during the training course
2. Complete the pre- and post-training assessments
3. Attain a score of at least 80% for the post-training assessment
4. Achieve 100% of the competencies listed in the competency checklist
