In the immediate future, TP is launching more initiatives to build capabilities in sustainability.
For adult training and continuing education, we will be launching new courses progressively in 2022 and 2023, in areas such as, green financing (e.g. sustainability reporting, risk management and carbon markets), electrification of transport (e.g. electric vehicles, charging infrastructure and battery technology), and alternative fuels (e.g. hydrogen generation and fuel cells).
Finally, TP will deepen our applied research in areas, such as alternative protein development and nutritional analysis, agri- and aqua-food technologies, fuel cells and sustainable materials (e.g. low-carbon building materials). Through these research and development projects, we aim to support Singapore companies who are looking to tap into new sources of business opportunity in the area of sustainability.
We have seen an increasing demand for sustainability courses. There is a nationwide push for sustainability, and more ambitious targets for green the energy & power, built environment and manufacturing sectors have been set under national movements such as Solar Nova program, Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore Green Building Masterplan (SGBMP). As sustainability permeates through most, if not all sectors, corporations and individuals seek training in a myriad of areas.
