ST Logistics to upskill 15,000 supply chain workers through tripartite partnership
[SINGAPORE] About 15,000 supply chain and logistics professionals are expected to be trained under a tripartite partnership between ST Logistics, SkillsFuture Singapore (SkillsFuture SG) and the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC). 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. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up 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.'

Forum: Initiatives must benefit both hawkers and customers
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Minister Ong Ye Kung's clarification that stallholders at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre will not face penalties for not providing meals to low-income residents is welcome news ( Ong Ye Kung rebuts complaints about treatment of stallholders at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre, Aug 11). The episode underscores a deeper point: good intentions alone are not enough. For any initiative to succeed, it must translate into tangible benefits for both hawkers and customers. Hawkers are already facing significant pressures – rising rents, higher ingredient costs, and intense competition from larger, better-resourced players. At the same time, customers expect genuine value and accessibility, especially for initiatives meant to improve affordability. Take for example some hawker centres operated by the FairPrice Group. While they are commendable for including 'budget meal' options in their menus, these meals are often unavailable when customers try to order, and some stalls that are actually operating are not reflected in their app listing. If the aim is to make affordable options widely accessible, then such offerings must be reliably available and clearly communicated to customers. When policies are rolled out, they should be designed with mutual benefit at their core. For hawkers, this means ensuring schemes do not increase operational strain or reduce income potential. For customers, it means making promised benefits actually achievable in practice. Otherwise, initiatives risk being perceived as token gestures rather than meaningful improvements. Hawker culture is a cornerstone of Singapore's identity, built on the hard work of stallholders and the everyday enjoyment of diners. It thrives when both sides are supported and respected.
