Singapore teaches older staff programming
In this era of digitization, big companies are using technology for the most part. But not just new technologies. There is also a skilled manpower to deal with the technology.
Therefore, the Singapore government has arranged special training for the creation of skilled manpower. The average life expectancy of the country is about 4 years. Therefore, the government is increasing the retirement age. So, they are training new subjects to keep the productivity of the older workers healthy.
For example, Valerie Yong Tan has been working at Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) Human Resource Management for the last 5 years. He has no idea about programming. Yet he recently enrolled in a bot-building course to improve his skills. He learned basic programming in four-day training and two-day bot maker Hackathon. Now he does his daily work in a new process. It saved a lot of his time.
She said that she has to learn new things all her life. I want to keep my brain active. Besides, I want to inspire the younger generation. I want to tell them, no matter what stage of the career there is no learning age.
Singapore has a large population of older people. So their productivity has dropped. That is why the government of the country is trying to teach employees the use of new technology.
