On 29 April 2026, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) announced their intent to form a Tripartite Jobs Council (TJC) to support workers and businesses through the artificial intelligence (AI) transition. The TJC, initiated by NTUC, will support and build on the tripartite partners’ respective efforts and programmes, and complement the Government’s efforts under the National AI Council to drive Singapore’s AI agenda. The Council’s objective is to ensure workers and businesses benefit from AI-driven transformation, while managing transitions in a fair and inclusive manner.
This article looks at the TJC’s key areas of focus and the Government’s initiatives to help workers develop practical AI skills and access AI tools, as well as support for businesses through the Enterprise Workforce Transformation Package.
