  "account": "The sentiment toward Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the workforce has sparked anxiety among Singaporeans, according to the ADP People At Work 2026 report. Only 15% of the respondents felt their jobs were secure, a stark contrast to the 47% who recognized the need to upskill in the face of AI's impact on job opportunities. NTUC's 2026 Survey on Economic Sentiments echoed similar concerns, with nearly 30% of the respondents feeling anxious about AI replacing their current job or role.\n\nFor those worried about job security, the first step is to identify personal goals. Whether it's enhancing AI competence in an existing job or learning a new skill to switch industries, the key is to determine what you want to achieve. Upskilling can take various forms, ranging from a short course to a longer program for career transition. Institutions such as Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) in Singapore offer a wide range of courses, many of which are eligible for SkillsFuture support, including the opening S$500 SkillsFuture Credit for those aged 25 and above.\n\nOne course of interest is the \"Apply Generative Artificial Intelligence for your industry\" course, which teaches participants how to use generative AI tools to automate tasks, implement Agentic AI solutions, improve product design, and generate new ideas specific to their industry. This two-day course includes practical examples and hands-on projects.\n\nAnother option is the \"Business Applications of Generative AI\" course, which focuses on refining business writing, automating post-meeting follow-ups, refining project plans, and streamlining content generation. This one-day course also covers generating texts, visuals, and videos for effective communication.\n\nFor those considering a career change to an IT or tech role, the \"Certificate in Digital Transformation with Cloud and AI\" might be the right fit. This course introduces participants to AI applications alongside Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud technologies, covering fundamentals of cloud computing, Linux, and practical troubleshooting skills for cloud infrastructure scenarios. It also explores AI's role in improving operational efficiency.\n\nThose interested in livestreaming to boost e-commerce sales can consider the \"Live Streaming: Boost Your E-Commerce Sales\" course. This two-day course teaches participants how to leverage livestreaming to improve customer interaction and business growth, apply trend evaluation and application for relevant and engaging livestreams, develop strategies to influence viewer behavior, and master content creation and social media management.",
