C3:Time for Singapore to Develop More Resilient-abled Workforce

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 6, 2010 - SINGAPORE, 6 AUGUST 2010 – The strong economic recovery in Singapore has called organizations to take a step further in building up one of its most critical and vital assets - human capital.  As such, the Business Continuity Management Institute has launched the C3 Competency Building Campaign, which is aimed at developing the Singapore workforce's capacity, building capability and ultimately, the competency to safeguard not only every organization's profitability, but its preparedness and resiliency to disasters as well.
The campaign offers an array of Business Continuity, IT Disaster Recovery and Crisis Management course modules, accessible to all, through a substantial rate reduction and attractive subsidy in line with the Singapore Government's need for organizational compliancy for business continuity and nevertheless leveraging on a more ICT-capable workforce. The 3-month long campaign consists of BCM international standards (such as British Standard BS25999 and Singapore Standard SS540) compliant courses of different levels, from foundation to management and to auditing. These courses will provide Small Medium Enterprises and Large Medium Corporations in both the private and public sectors to have a human resource team capable of developing on a BC plan implementation roadmap.
Moreover, for individuals seeking to enhance their career, the advance module training leads to a global professional certificate and qualification subject to examination and professional panel assessment. Funding support provided for Singaporeans/PRs and ACRA registered private organisations/companies adds as a bonus for skills upgrading. Organisations and individuals can also look forward to findings from the C3 survey that will be released to the media by end of the last quarter of 2010.
