Public Service Leadership Programme (PSLP) PSLP is a talent development programme that develops talented and capable individuals for key leadership positions within the Public Service. PSLP replaced the Management Associates Programme (MAP). Recognising the need to develop a broader base of leaders beyond the Administrative Service and responding to the need for grooming leaders who have deep expertise in key domains such as education, health care, urban planning, communications or foreign policy, the PSLP was set up in 2015, administered by PSD to create multiple job structures and career pathways, so that officers can rise up in professional roles and reach apex positions in their own fields, and not just go through the Administrative Service route (Speech by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the 2020 Annual Public Service Leadership Dinner, 17 January 2020). The apex positions include Director of Medical Services, or the Director-General of Education, or the Chief Planner, the Accountant-General, or Chief of Government Communications. These officers can then partner and complement the AOs, as part of the larger collective public sector leadership to make up for a more balanced and resilient system. Mid-Career Leaders Track (MCLT)The “Mid-Career Leaders Track” (MCLT), a central gateway will also be introduced for mid-career entrants with valuable 135ScopeContribute to making Singapore a vibrant, clean, liveable city with sustainable development, robust infrastructure and good connectivity.Contribute to Singapore’s growth, macro-economic stability, industry regulation and a conducive business environment.Shape the ‘heartware’ of Singapore – cultivating a more cohesive, resilient, caring and inclusive society.Keep Singapore safe and secure through robust enforcement capabilities and sound security policies.Enable better use of data and harnessing of new technologies by the Government to build a digital economy and digital society, in support of Smart Nation.Ensure effective and efficient use of resources and help develop a consultative and customer-centric Public Service. Applications are opened to in-service, mid-career switchers as well as fresh graduates (must be Singapore citizens) who wish to start work in the Public Service after graduation. There are two phases of the PSLP namely the general phase and the sectoral phase. The general phase is created for those with little or no work experience and they will be posted to two agencies across two sectors, for a minimum of two years each to develop them in core public governance capabilities. The rotations will also allow them the opportunity to explore and gain experience in at least two different sectors of the Public Service. Under the general phase, there is a structured leadership development opportunity which includes rotations, attachments, milestone programmes, inter-agency projects, and coaching and mentoring. Upon completion of the general phase, the officers may be considered for the Sectoral Phase to gain deep domain expertise and knowledge in a chosen sector; or for the AS to remain as a generalist. The six sectors that officers can choose are namely the Infrastructure & Environment, Economy Building, Social, Security, Information and Communications Technology & Smart Systems, and Central Administration (Table 2).6 key sectors of Public ServiceInfrastructure & EnvironmentEconomy BuildingSocialSecurityInformation and Communications Technology & Smart SystemsCentral AdministrationTable 2: Six key sectors of the Singapore Public Service and the scope (PSD, 2023) Officers are given the developmental opportunities and critical experiences to build deep competencies in a specific sector through rotations to different agencies in a chosen sector as well as provided with training programmes to expose officers to key developments and cross-cutting issues within the sector to be developed as a specialist leader. Mid-career switchers with several years of experience may be considered for the PSLP Sectoral Phase (SP) where they will be supported in deepening their competencies within a sector. Their past work experiences will be considered when curating relevant postings and developmental opportunities, and in the consideration for more senior leadership appointments. In-service officers could also be considered for the PSLP via the annual ‘In-Service Nomination Exercise’ as nominated by their reporting officers through assessment of their performance and potential.
