ST Logistics to upskill 15,000 supply chain workers through tripartite partnership
In its continued role as a SkillsFuture Queen Bee, ST Logistics will train workers from its network of suppliers, in the areas of digitalisation, sustainability and workplace safety.
This commitment was formalised under a memorandum of understanding signed on Thursday (Aug 14) at the Supply Chain Learning Festival 2025, organised by ST Logistics and the Supply Chain Employees' Union.
As artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalisation reshape the supply chain and logistics landscape, jobs are being redefined and skillsets need to be recalibrated, said NTUC secretary-general Ng Chee Meng.
In its initial two-year tenure as a SkillsFuture Queen Bee – established players that support workforce skills development, especially for smaller companies – ST Logistics helped 80 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in its network with transformation.
It has now been reappointed as a SkillsFuture Queen Bee in the supply chain and logistics sector for another three years. In this new term, it aims to train workers from over 150 suppliers.

Tailored training
To this end, ST Logistics will co-develop SME-specific training and workplace learning solutions with partners such as NTUC LearningHub, National University of Singapore and the National Centre of Excellence for Workplace Learning led by Nanyang Polytechnic.
This includes courses in areas such as AI, sustainability and digital supply chains; role-based upskilling through NTUC's learning platform; and structured workplace learning.
ST Logistics will also launch a digital portal with curated training, progress tracking and best-practice sharing. This will enable sector-wide adoption of shared innovations, such as AI-enabled demand forecasting.
Under the new tripartite partnership, ST Logistics' appointed skills managers will integrate NTUC resources into the outreach and advisory support provided to suppliers, thus offering more comprehensive help.
The company will also work with its suppliers and NTUC to develop transformation plans and find scalable solutions to common challenges across its supplier network.
Its suppliers may also tap NTUC's capability assessment resources and its Company Training Committee grant, which co-funds up to 70 per cent of qualifying costs for transformation projects or related training.
Said ST Logistics chief executive officer Loganathan Ramasamy: 'Together, we're building a future-ready ecosystem that is digital at its core, sustainable in its mindset and safe for every worker who keeps our supply chains moving.'
