    Training and Employability




    We believe in keeping our members employable throughout their working life. Through skills upgrading, our members will become multi skilled, more productive and adaptable to changing work environments.

    Our e2i (Employment and Employability Institute) also acts as a marketplace for employers, jobseekers and training providers alike. To ensure that jobseekers meet the hiring requirements of employers, e2i conducts employment coaching, and employability and skills training to equip workers with the mindset, skills and job opportunities to stay employable for life. Follow our guided journey on upgrading opportunities to find out more details.
