Learning and
development

We want to support every officer at PSD to reach their fullest potential

And that's why we have taken care to provide rich and diverse learning and development opportunities for PSD officers throughout their career with us.

An opportunity to learn, from day one

As a new officer, you'll have a chance to participate in our in-house Induction Programme to learn more about our PSD culture, work, forge new friendships with officers from different teams, and interact with our senior management team.

A variety of ways to upskill and develop yourself

There are on-the-job trainings, cross-cluster & agency projects, learning on the go through our Public Service learning app, structured trainings, conferences, seminars and many more! At PSD, we believe in empowering everyone to take charge of their learning!.

Supporting your Professional Development

At PSD, we are committed to supporting your growth and development. The PSD Training Award and Sponsorship Scheme supports officers in developing professionally by offering sponsorship for training programmes such as professional certifications and postgraduate studies (e.g. Masters, Graduate Diplomas).

BROADENING YOUR CAREER EXPERIENCES

At PSD, you are encouraged to grow your career through both internal rotations or short-term cross-cluster assignments. This way, you will get to hone your professional competencies and develop both breadth & depth in your expertise!

You will also have opportunities to be posted to another ministry, statutory board or even the private sector to grow your network and broaden your career experiences.

"Learning, unlearning and relearning spurs growth... My Ernst & Young stint taught me to be even more client-centric than before, by anticipating their needs and thinking from their perspectives."

Performance and
promotion

At PSD, we look forward to promoting those who have performed well in their current job, have the potential to take on greater responsibilities, their values and other character attributes (such as leadership and commitment) needed for the new role.

We regularly assess the performance of our officers. During this time we look at each officer - their performance and potential. And help them to develop and grow based on their talents and abilities to their full potential.

Our performance assessment system also helps us to ensure that our assessments are fair, credible, rigorous and objective.

PSDians are part of a community that learns together and cares for one another.
