About Healthcare Academy

Healthcare Academy is a collaboration among Healthcare Services Employees' Union (HSEU), Employability and Employment Institute (e2i) and NTUC LearningHub (LHUB). Healthcare Academy endeavours to:

• Support continuous learning for healthcare workers, especially those affected by industry restructuring, job re-design and technological disruptions
• Provide employment opportunities for displaced workers from other sectors to work in the healthcare sector through robust job matching process
• Equip healthcare workers with relevant adaptive skills, technology skills and technical skills, to be future ready for business transformation

Healthcare Academy was birth forth in August 2018 when we envisage the need for healthcare workers to be more agile and adaptive to the changes brought on by technological disruption and demographic changes. We started our journey by addressing one very fundamental change element which is the mind, helping workers to move from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. We developed our first programme to help workers develop a positive mindset for the workplace. Since then, we have learned and grew, and more products and solutions have been added to our offerings.
