Back for the seventh year, the Lifelong Learner Awards celebrate stories of personal triumph in learning, showcasing individual learners who have made significant achievements by stepping out of their comfort zone, learning new skills and adapting to the changing employment landscape.
The Lifelong Learning Awards recognise individuals who have upgraded themselves to stay relevant, advance in their jobs or pick up new skills to switch to new careers. Companies will also be recognised for taking positive steps to upgrade their workforce so that they can continue to perform well in their jobs and improve their productivity.
The Award is organized by MediaCorp Pte Ltd in collaboration with the Singapore Workforce Development Agency and partners NTUC and SPRING Singapore.
The search for Singapore’s most passionate learners has begun. We are looking for individuals who learn for life and advance with skills and companies that have helped their workers advance their skills and benefit from doing so.
