As part of the partnership, Lenovo and SMF have jointly introduced a series of upskilling and reskilling programmes, designed to equip employees in the manufacturing and retail sectors with the necessary AI knowledge and hands-on experience using AI-powered smart manufacturing and retail solutions.
In a press release on Thursday (7 November 2024), Lenovo said the aim of the programmes is to instill specific knowledge on AI advancements into the workforce, as well as train employees with hands-on-experiences, to enhance productivity while bridging the skills gap in AI adoption.
Nigel Lee, Country General Manager at Lenovo Singapore, commented: “We recognise that Singapore's workforce is the backbone of the economy, and we are committed to supporting the growth of its employees through our smart solutions and talent development initiatives.
