Singapore will also double down on training research and development (R&D) talent to meet the target of producing 1,000 PhDs over the next 10 years, the minister added. Meanwhile, the Government will continue to collaborate with companies to provide scholarships and develop the postgraduate talent pool with critical R&D skills needed for the semiconductor industry, he said.

Mr Gan said Singapore will also continue to reskill its mid-career workers for new and enhanced roles in the semiconductor industry or redeployment into other good jobs within the sector. He said EDB will work with Workforce Singapore and the industry to achieve at least 1,300 placements for the electronics career-conversion programme over the next four years.
