A new S$1 million pilot scholarship programme has been launched by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) and German Institute of Science and Technology (TUM Asia).
The Manufacturing STEP Scholarship programme (MS2) is aimed at elevating the capability level of managers within the manufacturing industry. It will also help Professionals, Managers and Executives (PMEs) to progress in their careers paths with industry-relevant training.
