NTUC Launches AI-Ready SG Initiative for Workforce Empowerment
On February 13, 2026, NTUC unveiled the AI-Ready SG initiative at its annual career festival in Singapore. This program aims to prepare over 1.4 million members for an AI-driven future, offering up to 50% funding support for AI tools designed for tasks such as content creation, and a comprehensive two-year training pathway tailored to various skill levels and sectors. The initiative includes sector-specific AI playbooks for industries like electronics and hospitality, and a new mentorship program to connect professionals with career mentors through an AI-enabled matching system. NTUC emphasizes a fair transition for workers amid rising job insecurities, as highlighted by recent surveys. The initiative aligns with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s vision of AI as a strategic advantage, promising to co-fund up to 70% of transformation costs for companies. The career festival also features over 5,000 job opportunities, promoting a robust career transition for Singapore’s workforce.
