The importance of this topic

Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) is the National System that trains, develops, assesses and certifies adult workers for competencies that they need to stay employable. Hence, it sets the skills, knowledge and attitudinal standards that will be recognised by all players within the industry. Being a National Credential, the WSQ compels all training providers to adopt the WSQ Framework.

Outcome to Achieve

• HCS to set the benchmark for HR WSQ courses. 
• HCS to be the preferred training partner of choice for corporate and public 
• HCS to expand its capability to build a comprehensive suite of programmes 

 Top Issues 

• What is the implication on the training industry?
• Would the recognition of WSQ as a national credential entails greater stringent accreditation of its training professionals beyond ACTA?
• Will Trainers come under the microscope as the public’s expectations on quality takes a quantum leap? 
• How should the industry and in particular HCS brace itself to manage the challenges and expectations of the WSQ as a national credential?
• How is HCS going to examine its current stakeholders including courseware designers, trainers and facilitators and also the needs of new customers who are keen to acquire WSQ certification?
