 What is the Employability Skills System (ESS)?

 The Employability Skills System (ESS) is an initiative by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) and was developed following research into other similar approaches to generic skills training in the UK, US, Australia and other countries. ESS ia a competency-based approach training designed to raise the overall skills standards of the workforce - from operational to managerial - across all industries, to enhance the key foundation skills to stay employable and competitive in a global marketplace.
