In a nod to the hybrid nature of the workplace, the NUS LLF included both in-person and online sessions with over 30 experts, industry leaders and academics sharing at the various masterclasses, panel discussions and presentations.

The masterclasses were grouped based on the key growth areas identified in the Skills Demand for the Future Economy report released by SkillsFuture Singapore. Based on Singapore’s economic priorities in the coming years, the growth areas include the digital economy, the green economy and the care economy.

NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) led discussions on the knowledge and skills needed for the Care Economy through its masterclass presentation at NUS LLF. Titled, “Developing Future-Ready Healthcare Professionals”, the session shared about the challenges of the ever-evolving and changing healthcare landscape and how we can collectively develop future-ready healthcare professionals.

Our speakers for the masterclass included Associate Professor Chong Choon Seng, Assistant Dean (Enterprise); Associate Professor Zhou Wentao, Director of Education (CET); and Associate Professor Lau Tang Ching, Vice-Dean (Education). Their presentations were followed by insightful exchanges during the panel discussion. The NUS Medicine speakers also took the opportunity to share about the various CET events and courses offered by the School.
