About the Knowledge Transfer Office
Introduction
Developed in collaboration with the Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA), industry partners and the broader manufacturing ecosystem, our training programmes are grounded in deep expertise across advanced manufacturing domains. This expertise has been built through years of applied research, industry collaboration and hands-on implementation of innovative manufacturing technologies and solutions. At the core of our training approach is the proprietary Learn-Practice-Implement™ (LPI™) model, supported by state-of-the-art facilities and technical capabilities. This structured framework integrates knowledge acquisition, hands-on practice and workplace implementation, enabling participants to translate learning into tangible business outcomes and operational improvements.
The Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO) serves as the unified platform for workforce development and technology training across both A*STAR SIMTech and A*STAR ARTC. By harnessing the complementary strengths, resources and industry expertise of both institutes, the KTO delivers comprehensive learning solutions that address emerging industry challenges and support the development of a future-ready manufacturing workforce.
Through close partnerships with industry and ecosystem stakeholders, we are committed to building capabilities that accelerate innovation, technology adoption and sustainable growth. By empowering individuals and organisations with advanced manufacturing competencies, we contribute to the long-term competitiveness, resilience and transformation of Singapore’s manufacturing sector.
