The government of the Turks and Caicos Islands is exploring innovative systems in Singapore as it continues to pursue opportunities for educating the country’s civil service employees.
Last week, Her Excellency Anya Williams, Deputy Governor, along with several of her Caribbean counterparts were in Singapore to explore opportunities for training and development in the Southeast Asian country.
Deputy Governor Williams noted that continuous training and professional development is essential to the success of every organization, and while visiting Singapore on official business, it was a pleasure for her and colleagues from Anguilla and the Cayman Islands to meet with the senior executives of the Civil Service College of Singapore to discuss opportunities for public service training and development.
Eighteen years ago, while serving as the Budget Director of the Turks and Caicos Islands, the now Deputy Governor, had the opportunity to participate in a two-week Budgeting and Public Financial Management Training Program at the Singapore Civil Service College, which proved to be very invaluable.
The Civil Service College (CSC) was established as a statutory board under the Public Service Division in 2001, providing education to civil servants of the Government of Singapore.
As the public sector’s main institution for learning, research and staff development, the Civil Service College is committed to designing and developing programmes that support competency-driven growth in public officers, ensuring that they have the ability to not only grow in the public service but to thrive.
