NTUC Learninghub Partners World Leading Online Learning Provider Go1 to Launch Over 100 Free Handpicked Courses During �Circuit Breaker� Period

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 11 April 2020
– As the leading
Continuing Education and Training provider in Singapore, social enterprise NTUC
LearningHub (NTUC LHUB) has partnered with GO1, the world’s largest compliance,
professional development and general training platform funded by Microsoft’s
venture arm and SEEK, to offer learners completely free online courses nationwide
during the ‘Circuit Breaker’ period. With more learners contending with the
growing impact of COVID-19, this move will enable all learners in Singapore to gain access to over
100 handpicked courses during this period through 31 May 2020.

The library of free courses offered on the GO1
platform features some of the most in-demand Worker 4.0 skillsets under Adaptive
Skills — such as Change Management, Business Management, Leadership and
Innovation — and Technology Skills — such as Data Analytics, Python Coding, Blockchain
and Cloud. Creative courses such as Adobe Photoshop and Graphic Design will
also be offered.  

The courses will be in ‘microlearning’ format,
designed for bite-sized learning with each course duration ranging from nine
minutes to seven hours. Learners will be able to choose courses according to
their interests and learn at their own pace and schedules. The platform also
allows learners to track their learning progress and receive personalised
recommendations.

“The ‘Circuit Breaker’ period is an opportune
one for workers in Singapore to make good use of time to upgrade skillsets. We
believe that learning should never stop, so we remain committed to driving
Singapore’s workforce forward in our transformation journey, especially through
changing times. Our mission to make learning accessible to all workers has
never been so pertinent and urgent than in the present,” says NTUC LHUB CEO
Kwek Kok Kwong.

In addition, as a growing number of foreign
workers are being affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, NTUC LHUB is aiming to provide
relevant Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) courses for foreign workers, to support
them as they tide through this period.

Commenting on this partnership and initiative,
GO1 co-founder Vu Tran says, “During this ‘Circuit Breaker’ period, and even
through unprecedented challenges, it is important that we continue to expand
our knowledge and horizons. NTUC LearningHub is spurring Singaporeans to learn
any time, anywhere, and on any device by going the extra mile with this
initiative.”

“GO1 stands ready to help Singaporeans by
working with NTUC LearningHub to offer this suite of free courses. This is an
example of how people’s needs, especially in times of distress, take centre
stage.”

“Singapore continues to display solidarity
through its nationwide support and schemes, while local communities have shown
acts of kindness through the countless charitable work towards the needy. GO1
is extremely proud to partner with NTUC LearningHub and we look forward to a
long term and successful partnership”
