Singapore is one of the world’s leading energy and chemical hubs which has an extensive chemicals value chain spanning from manufacturing to innovation and research. Singapore is well positioned as a global energy and chemicals hub whereby extensive development of Jurong Island has attracted investments in excess of SGD$50 billion and now houses many of the world’s leading energy and chemical companies.
Due to the strong presence of energy and chemical companies in Singapore, the demand for laboratory and process technicians remain high. To better support the demand of laboratory technicians at the diploma level, the Work Study Programme (WSP) targeting ITE graduates is proposed as one of the ways to increase the pool of trained talents in this industry by equipping them with the required skillsets.
WSP-DACL graduates may also be awarded two joint certifications from the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) and Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)-UK to recognise knowledge and technical competencies in Good Laboratory Practices and Management, Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis. More information on SAC’s collaboration with SP can be found in this link.
Only applicants who are shortlisted by SP and participating companies will be notified to attend interviews. Successful applicants employed by the participating companies will be placed under the programme.
