PHOTOS: SCS.ORG.SG PUBLISHED SEP 4, 2020, 6:09 PM SGT Lester Wong (mailto:[email protected]) SINGAPORE - Minister of State for Manpower and Education Gan Siow Huang's background as an air traffic controller and later a general in the military strongly underlined her call on Friday (Sept 4) for more women to study and work in science and technology fields. Women continue to be under-represented in the infocomm and tech sector, making up only about 30 per cent of the workforce in 2019, according to official data. Drawing on her own experiences, Ms Gan told a Singapore Women in Tech webinar that a belief in the meaningfulness of the job was what attracted her to the Singapore Armed Forces and a career that spanned more than 25 years. "It has to be something you love to do," she said. She added that studying the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) fields opens up a huge range of job possibilities. "There are many applications of Stem. It can be used for saving lives, protecting the country, building the economy or helping the needy," Ms Gan noted.

    Embargo until after delivery Speech by Er. Tan Seng Chuan, Chairman of the Chartered Engineering Technologist and Technician Accreditation Board (CETTAB) at the Launch of the Chartered Engineering Technologist and Technician Certification Scheme at Singapore Polytechnic Auditorium on, Friday, 22 January 2021 at 10.00am Guest-of-Honour, Ms Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State for Ministry of Education and Ministry of Manpower; Dr. Richard Kwok, President of The Institution of Engineers, Singapore; Members of the Chartered Engineering Technologist and Technician Accreditation Board; Distinguished guests; Ladies and gentlemen; Good morning. 1. Thank you for joining us this morning. I would like to thank MOS Gan Siow Huang for being the Guest-of-Honour at our event today. 2. Today, we are launching the Chartered Engineering Technologist and Technician Certification Scheme. Since the initiation by Minister Ong Ye Kung and signing of the Memorandum of Understanding to build this pathway in July 2019, the Pro-tem Committees have been working very hard to build the framework. 3. It has not been an easy task. We had to form several sector-based Work Groups, comprising members from agencies, industry and 1 academia, to conduct in-depth reviews of the needs of each sector. More than 80 members of these Work Groups have held numerous meetings and discussions to ensure the setting up of a rigorous competency-based framework, clear assessment criteria and a proficient accreditation board. 4. Our aim is to recognise the technical competency of Chartered Engineering Technicians and Technologists nationally and internationally. This will benefit their career progression from technician to engineer without the need to go through the traditional academic qualification path.
