Jobs Transformation Maps (JTMs): Future-proofing your workforce
Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and digitalisation are reshaping industries faster than ever. For employers, that means roles will evolve, skill gaps will widen, and businesses that fail to adapt risk losing competitiveness.
Jobs Transformation Maps (JTMs), developed by Workforce Singapore (WSG) with industry partners, help employers anticipate these shifts. They show how sector-specific roles are changing, what skills will be in demand, and what support is available to redesign jobs and reskill employees.
Since 2019, 19 JTMs have been launched, covering sectors that employ about 1.7 million residents — with more on the way.
Think you understand how JTMs can support your business? Take this quick quiz to find out.
1. What best describes Jobs Transformation Maps?
JTMs show how jobs and skills are evolving in each sector. They do not predict exactly which roles will disappear. Instead, they help employers anticipate change and plan reskilling or job redesign.
2. As of 2025, how many JTMs have been launched?
19 JTMs have been launched since 2019, covering sectors employing roughly 1.7 million residents! This breadth helps employers across industries understand trends and prepare their workforce.
3. Why should business leaders pay attention to JTMs?
JTMs highlight how roles and skills are shifting. Leaders can use them to plan strategically, reskill teams, and redesign jobs beyond compliance or funding requirements.
4. How can JTMs strengthen a company’s competitive edge?
By showing which skills and roles will grow or transform, JTMs help employers make strategic hiring, reskilling, and job redesign decisions, giving the company an edge in the market.

5. When should an employer or an organisation use a JTM?
JTMs are most effective before change happens, guiding workforce planning, reskilling, and job redesign proactively rather than reacting to skills gaps later!
6. What kind of insights can you find in a JTM?
JTMs provide a big-picture view of industry trends, evolving roles, and emerging skills. This helps employers spot opportunities, anticipate workforce needs, and make data-informed decisions.
7. How can JTMs support skills development?
JTMs identify the skills employees need to develop, reskill, or redeploy. They guide learning and job redesign so companies can grow talent internally!
8. What are common misconceptions about JTMs?
JTMs are often misunderstood. They’re practical, useful for all company sizes, and focused on opportunities, not job losses. Knowing this helps employers plan, reskill, and redesign roles effectively.

9. What can individuals use JTMs for?
JTMs help individuals see which jobs and skills are in demand, enabling informed career decisions and proactive skill development. They’re a guide to planning one’s next career move – and are not a replacement for training or a promise of advancement!
10. How can employers use government programmes to reskill employees and redesign jobs?
Employers can use government programmes alongside JTMs to reskill employees and redesign jobs effectively. Career Conversion Programmes (CCPs) provide structured support for mid-career hires and existing employees, while the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) offers funding for consultancy services to help redesign roles.
