| 6 |  +3Over the past year, we have shared about what Skills-First means, what it looks like in practice, and how it can shape the way we recognise, develop and grow the workforce.
Here’s a quick TRUE or FALSE recap of some of the key points we have covered.
At its core, Skills-First puts skills at the centre of how we understand what people can do, identify opportunities for development and support career and workforce growth.
Now, the conversation is moving towards action.
This October, IAL will launch a new "Skills-First Framework for Action" to help individuals and employers put Skills-First into practice.
Stay tuned for more updates.

| 7 |  In an AI-enabled economy, our human edge lies in deep learning, the ability to think critically and apply knowledge creatively.
Yet, IAL research reveals that less than 1 in 3 workers in Singapore are deep learners, while 41% fall into the "defeated" category. Access to training alone does not guarantee equal outcomes.
The solution? A shift in the workplace environment. When employers design roles that encourage experimentation and problem-solving, an employee's internal drive to learn surges by nearly 50%.
It is time to shift from simply counting training hours to driving true workplace impact.
💡 Read the article to discover how we can build a nation of deep learners: https://tinyurl.com/IAL-Deep-Learners | 586 |
| 8 |  +3How do you scale a boutique craft-based business without diluting its heritage? For Rumah Kim Choo, the answer lay in transforming how their people contribute to the business.
They embarked on a Learning Enterprise Alliance project with IAL to redesign their employees' roles from transactional sales staff into knowledgeable "Peranakan Heritage Ambassadors".
Through practical, shop-floor coaching structured around daily constraints, the team built critical storytelling and curation capabilities. This workforce transformation not only elevated employee morale, it unlocked entirely new revenue streams through public cultural workshops, turning workplace learning into a direct driver of sales.

| 9 |  +3Are we using AI to work smarter, or letting it replace our critical thinking?
A global study led by IAL's Principal Researcher, Associate Professor Chen Zan, found that while 63.6% of educators use AI to save time, most organisations still lack a clear AI strategy. This creates a gap between individual adoption and institutional support.
Assoc Prof Chen Zan is also one of the editors for the book "Navigating the AI Frontier in Adult Education: International Practices and Perspectives from Adult Learning, Training, and Higher Education". The publication introduces the Co-Intelligence Matrix, a framework for intentional and responsible use of AI to automate routine tasks, augment human expertise, and free people to focus on higher-value work such as creativity, collaboration and decision-making.

| 11 |  +3Many SMEs invest in workforce training but still find it challenging to translate new skills into stronger business outcomes. One reason? Employees' capabilities are often underutilised, while innovation remains largely driven from the top.
IAL's People-driven Innovation in Enterprises (PIE) programme is designed to address this by empowering frontline employees to solve real business challenges through workplace learning, innovation and experimentation. Eligible SMEs can also tap into up to 90% consultancy grants via NACE@IAL to support their transformation journey.

| 15 |  “Agree” only matters when people truly understand what they’re agreeing to.
More than a checkbox, informed consent supports transparency. It means individuals are given clear, accessible information about how their data will be collected, used, and shared — before they decide whether to say yes.
In adult education, clear language is essential to avoid confusing learners and to empower them to make informed decisions about their personal data. | 634 |

| 17 |  +7Singapore has built a strong foundation for a Skills-First future, with a robust national skills infrastructure, extensive training support and vibrant professional networks. As more organisations embrace Skills-First practices, the next opportunity lies in strengthening collaboration across the ecosystem to accelerate broader and more impactful adoption.
Achieving this requires strong ecosystem coordination. When training providers, employers and policy makers move in sync, Skills-First initiatives are better positioned to scale and create lasting impact.
The Centre for Skills-First Practices (CSFP) Working Paper No. 5 “Skills-First: Opportunities for Collective Action” outlines how we can fix this.
Are you ready to test your knowledge on what it takes to build a truly integrated skills-first economy? Swipe to take our quick quiz and see how well you understand the future of workplace transformation.
