This session will be held on 17 October, 9:00am - 5:00pm.
PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
In recent years, the notion of workplace learning within the local context of Singapore has been positioned by many as an approach to help employers and employees alike, in upskilling and pushing for greater business performance. The harnessing of this phenomena that occurs naturally at the workplace, however, is something that warrants intentional engineering on both the organisational and individual fronts.
This guided workshop is designed to give an appreciation of the potential of workplace learning in practical ways. It will cover the “What”, the “Why”, and touch on practice examples of “How” workplace learning can be used by individuals at the workplace.
Participants will reflect on personal experiences of learning at work and connect it with concepts such as workplace affordances/limitations for learning, including types of workplace learning methods. Frequently used individual-based workplace learning methods such as conducting demonstrations, giving feedback, coaching, active noticing, etcetera, will be explored where participants will have hands-on practices to experience some of these for themselves.

Advisory and Updates: From 1 October 2023, Singaporean Citizens / Permanent Residents learners who are attending SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)'s funded courses must take their attendance digitally via the Singpass App for attendance-taking for both physical classroom and synchronous e-learning courses.

Singaporean Citizens/Permanent Residents are required to set up your Singpass account and download the Singpass App prior to course commencement. Learners will have to submit a reschedule request, with an applicable fee, if they are unable to do so.
The assessment of the course is based on group work, which requires the class to form small group discussions and presentations to reflect on the barriers they might encounter for effective implementation of workplace learning in their current or previous organisation and the potential mitigations. A Certificate of Completion will be conferred upon meeting at least 75% attendance and participation in the group discussion and presentation.
