"The Landscape Industry is increasingly becoming more attractive to workers. It starts with the National Parks Board's vision of a City in a Garden. NTUC is also spearheading the Job Re-Creation Programme, to add higher value to landscape jobs. WDA is glad to be able to contribute to these efforts, through our involvement in developing Landscape WSQ. The system provides national qualifications and structured career progression pathways for workers in the industry. With CUGE, our workforce can now access WSQ programmes and career opportunities in the landscape directly."
