What Is it?
The Skills Framework (SFw) is a SkillsFuture initiative developed for the Singapore workforce to promote skills mastery and lifelong learning, and is an integral component of the Training and Adult Education Industry Transformation Plan.
Developed by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) together with industry associations, training providers, organisations and unions, the Skills Framework for Training and Adult Education provides useful information on:
-
Sector information;
-
Career pathways;
-
Occupations and job roles;
-
Existing and emerging skills; and
-
Training programmes for skills upgrading and mastery.
Who Is It For?
Individuals who wish to join or progress within the Training and Adult Education sector, to assess their career interest, identify relevant training programmes to upgrade their skills and prepare for the desired job roles.
Employers will be able to recognise these skills and invest in training their employees for career development and skills upgrading.
Training providers can gain insights on sector trends, existing and emerging skills that are in demand, and design programmes to address the industry needs accordingly.

Each job role in every Skills Framework developed has Generic Skills and Competencies (GSCs) identified. The GSCs are employability/transferable skills and competencies.
An industry review of the GSCs was conducted in 2019, culminating in the creation of the Critical Core Skills (CCS). Visit this link to access information about the CCS. Users of the Skills Framework can also locate the GSC-to-CCS mapping document and advisory there.
