NTUC LearningHub Unveils Singapore�s Largest Subscription-Based Online Learning Platform � LHUB GO Infinity � Which Offers Learners Affordable Access to Over 75,000 On-Demand Courses

SINGAPORE�- Media OutReach - 24 February 2021 – NTUC LearningHub (NTUC LHUB) today announced the
launch of LHUB
GO Infinity,
Singapore’s largest subscription-based online learning platform, which offers on-demand
access to over 75,000 bite-sized online courses. LHUB GO Infinity, is designed in
partnership with global leader in on-demand training Go1 to create equal learning
opportunities by making world-class content affordable and accessible to learners.

 

The announcement comes amid the intensifying
need for continuing education and training as the workforce prepares for a
post-pandemic economy. By contrast, almost two thirds of Singaporean workers
say that they have insufficient time to attend in-person training. This was
evidenced in NTUC LHUB’s survey in December last year, where majority of
workers (69%) have cited that they are required to adopt new skills due to a change
in their work situation and 71% of them seeing the urgency to upgrade their
current skills to keep themselves competitive in the job market. However, 55%
of them cited the top reason for not upskilling as the ‘lack of time for
training’.

“We hope that LHUB GO Infinity, with
its extensive library of microlearning content by industry experts, will
further NTUC LHUB’s agenda to democratise knowledge to all workers.  Individuals can take ownership of their
lifelong learning journey and diversify their skill sets to be better poised
for a transformed future. Similarly, companies can better facilitate training
and retraining of their workers through self-directed learning.   Companies can approach us to discuss how
LHUB GO can seamlessly integrate with your staff’s learning and development
roadmaps,” says Tay Ee Learn, Director of NTUC LHUB’s Technical Skills Product
Division.

The LHUB GO Infinity subscription
offers a suite of courses mapped to growth industries such as Healthcare,
Manufacturing and ICT. Learners will be able to enhance their employability
through honing their competencies in adaptive, technology and technical skills,
while earning certificates upon course completion. The platform also creates
contextualised learning experiences for learning on-the-go. Some of the popular
courses include ‘Work Health and Safety’, ‘Excel 2019 — Advanced’ and
‘Emotional Intelligence — Self Management’.

Additionally, companies who would like
to offer asynchronous online learning for their workforce may approach NTUC
LHUB for the LHUB GO ‘Enterprise Solutions’ which offers high quality content
that supports workforce capability frameworks.

The launch of LHUB GO Infinity rides
on the success of the LHUB GO ‘Learn100’ and ‘Learn200’ platforms, which were
part of NTUC LHUB’s social initiatives with Go1 in 2020 to offer Singaporeans free
access to up to 200 courses during the pandemic downtime. Within a span of six
months, the platforms had garnered over 100,000 active users and an 81%
completion rate.

NTUC LHUB’s Chairman, Eugene Wong says,
“It is extremely encouraging to see not only the strong desire by the workforce
to upskill and reskill, but also the record-high engagement we have witnessed
in the LHUB GO Learn100 and Learn200 platforms. I am heartened that learners
have experienced tangible outcomes from their learning journey so far. Through
acquiring new, employer-coveted skills on LHUB GO, we have heard many stories
of how their careers have advanced. We hope these stories can inspire others to
expand their skill sets and broaden their career horizons.”
