Company Training Committees (CTCs) are an initiative by the Labour Movement to help both workers and companies transform for the future. First announced in February 2019, it involves our union leaders working closely with management to (1) understand the company’s strategic objectives and transformation plans, (2) identify and address skills gaps and training needs, and (3) seize opportunities for companies to adopt new technologies for enhanced productivity. The objectives of CTCs are two-pronged – first, to help workers become Worker 4.0, which is defined by the Labour Movement as workers who are proficient in working with machines, using technology and tapping digital resources to be more productive at work; and second, to partner companies in their transformation towards Industry 4.0. Combined, these will help our workers have better Wages, Welfare and Work Prospects.
Who Is It For
CTCs are for both unionised and non-unionised companies to help ensure that workers are trained in tandem to keep up with companies’ transformation and this will also enable workers to secure better work prospects.
