The Precision Engineering (PE) sector in Singapore is on the rise, but a shortage of skilled talent poses a significant challenge.

A groundbreaking partnership between industry leaders and Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) is set to change that with the launch of a new training programme.

This initiative offers mid-career professionals hands-on experience in actual factories, certified by NYP, equipping them for roles in this dynamic field.

How is this collaboration poised to reshape the future of the PE industry and create new opportunities for individuals looking to transition into this vital sector?

Here's our conversation with Lim Hee Joo, Executive Director, Wah Son Engineering & Dr Phua Chee Teck, Deputy Principal (Sustainability & Technology), Nanyang Polytechnic.
