I
The Care economy
Sectors that serve a growing and ageing population. Demand is steady and SSG funding well-established for both WSQ and non-WSQ certifiable courses.
- Healthcare
The toughest part of most curriculum development is finding the subject-matter expert. We keep a working community of practitioners across the sectors in which we currently practise, pair them to the engagement at no cost to the training provider, and warmly invite trainers and subject-matter experts in other sectors to work with us.
The three economies shaping Singapore's skills demand.
SSG's Skills Demand for the Future Economy report organises Singapore's sectoral demand around three priority economies. Our community currently practises within parts of each, and grows by invitation rather than by overreach.
II
The Digital economy
Sectors driving the transition to data, cloud and AI. Skills are listed under the Course Approval Skills List and qualify for the higher SSG funding tier where eligible.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Digital Marketing
III
The Green economy
Sectors built around sustainability, decarbonisation and the built environment. The framework here is younger and our network of SMEs in this area is still being assembled.
- Sustainability
Where we have practised.
These are the sectors in which our community is presently engaged. Where a brief falls outside this list, we will tell you so plainly, and, where appropriate, introduce you to a practitioner from outside our community on a best-endeavours basis.

§ III · The pairing
Paired to your engagement, at no cost to you, and none to the learner.
The toughest part of most curriculum development is the subject-matter expert. Without one, the Course Proposal Form cannot be submitted; with the wrong one, the courseware will not survive the Course Quality Check. We keep a working community, briefed and ready, drawn from practitioners who have committed time to the community on the same understanding that we have: that good training ought not to be priced out of reach.
Where your brief can be matched from our community, the pairing is free. We do not levy a finder's fee, a placement margin or a per-hour markup on top of the SME's own rate. Where our practitioners cannot match the brief, we source through the usual recruitment channels (Jobstreet and the like) and recover only the direct costs of the search and administrative costs.
A short note on what we are not: Twobirds is not a recruitment agency. We do not hold a recruitment licence and we do not place candidates into employment. We make introductions; we do not negotiate contracts on anyone's behalf.
An invitation
If you are a certified adult educator or a subject-matter expert with standing in your sector, write to us. Our community is open by invitation, and we are always glad to be in correspondence with practitioners we have not yet met.

- I. All information is held in confidence and used only to assess fit.
- II. Joining the community is by invitation; submission is not acceptance.
- III. We are equally glad to hear from practitioners outside this list of sectors.
