My job, my skills, my future
Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, but what does that actually mean for jobs in Singapore?
In this episode of Lens on Singapore, Claressa Monteiro speaks with Dean Tong, head of group human resources at UOB, and Victor Chua, deputy CEO of NUS-ISS. From workforce redesign and reskilling to hiring priorities and the rise of "AI bilinguals", they discuss how organisations are adapting, the skills employers are looking for, and why standing still may be the biggest risk of all.
Highlights of the conversation:
03:46 UOB's Better U Pivot Programme
06:07 How academic institutions and the private sector collaborate
13:44 Firms are looking for these crucial skills
16:51 Predictions for the future of work in 5 years
