IES and IHRP launch upskilling initiatives for technologists, HR professionals

The initiatives include workplace learning and chartership certification.

The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) and the Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP) will launch upskilling initiatives.

IES and Singapore Polytechnic will establish an Assessment Centre for Chartered Engineering Technologist certification in the Built Environment and Infrastructure sectors through workplace learning, in addition to the existing train-and-assessment mode.

Existing practicing technologists, such as Resident Technical Officers, can also undertake competency assessments for the Chartership, allowing them to upskill and manage more complex projects with the latest technology.

Meanwhile, the IHRP is rolling out two role badges in workplace learning in collaboration with the Institute for Adult Learning (IAL), and the National Centre of Excellence for Workplace Learning (NACE), led by Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP). 

HR professionals and people managers can attain these role badges through both formal and workplace learning pathways. 

Skills acquired from these role badges can be used to enhance workplace learning systems, strengthen career development, and foster a stronger learning culture within organizations.

These initiatives were announced during the SkillsFuture Human Capital Conference, organised by Singapore Business Federation (SBF) which was held at the Suntec City Convention Centre on 21 August.
