NATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY AND CONTINUING EDUCATION COUNCIL PRESS RELEASE THE NATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY AND CONTINUING EDUCATION COUNCIL (NPCEC) HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETING The National Productivity and Continuing Education Council (NPCEC), which will oversee and drive the national effort to boost productivity, held its inaugural meeting on 30 April 2010. Chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, the Council comprises members from the unions, private and public sectors. (List of members in Annex A) DPM Teo noted that to transform Singapore into a productivity-led economy will require a concerted and sustained tripartite effort involving employers, workers and the Government. DPM Teo said: “The NPCEC will adopt a holistic approach in its work. We will focus on driving productivity improvements at the worker, enterprise and sectoral levels. At the enterprise and sectoral levels, it is about innovation, enhancing competitiveness and process improvements. At the worker level, we have to ensure that workers are properly trained and skilled to keep up with the needs of the market. This will raise the overall productivity of Singapore’s economy to sustain future economic growth.” The NPCEC will prioritise and champion national productivity initiatives at the sectoral and enterprise levels, develop a comprehensive, first-class national Continuing Education and Training (CET) system, and foster a culture of productivity and continuous learning and upgrading in Singapore. The Council will develop sector specific productivity improvement plans as well as broad based programmes to help companies expand their markets, raise innovation capacity and improve their products and processes. At the sectoral level, the NPCEC will focus initially on 12 sectors. -
