Why a Career in Advanced Manufacturing?

Singapore’s thriving manufacturing industry, which contributes 20-25% of the country’s annual GDP, offers exciting opportunities as the cutting-edge technologies of automation, robotics, data analytics, and artificial intelligence continue to transform the future of manufacturing.

There are many opportunities for Singaporeans who are considering a career switch, especially in the five sectors from the advanced manufacturing cluster, namely Electronics, Precision Engineering, Energy & Chemicals, Aerospace, and Logistics, which contribute to 80% of Singapore’s annual manufacturing output.
