NEW and updated measures are on the way to help businesses and workers in the digital economy, said Minister for Communications and Information S Iswaran on Monday.
"We have been adapting the SMEs Go Digital programme to the changing needs of businesses," said Mr Iswaran, who added that about 4,000 SMEs have benefited from the scheme since its launch in April 2017.Meanwhile, another S$300 million was added to the research budget for the services and digital economy domain of the National Research Foundation's Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2020 five-year plan. It had previously been allotted some S$360 million.
But, telling the House that"the digitalisation of businesses can succeed only if our workers too are equipped to effectively use digital technology", the minister said that digital learning guides are being developed for employers to plan training. The guides, to be produced by public agencies IMDA and SkillsFuture Singapore, will start with the retail and logistics industries from July 2019.
