HERITAGE AND MILESTONES

PSB aims to upgrade the knowledge and skills of Singapore’s workforce

Our beginnings trace back to 1964 in Singapore, when a small Productivity Unit was set up and later became the National Productivity Centre under the purview of the Economic Development Board. Our mission was to upgrade the knowledge and skills of Singapore’s workforce to meet the needs of the growing economy.
