I was excited to welcome the civilian officers from the Home Team to the Step-Beyond programme, which was developed in collaboration with the Civil Service College Institute of Leadership and Organisation. This programme represents the pinnacle of the Civilian Milestone Programme at the Home Team Academy . Together with other Home Team Civilian Milestone Programmes, it underlines the Home Team's commitment to developing civilian officers and recognizing the important roles they play in ensuring the safety and security of Singapore. The #leadership programme aims to develop civilian #leaders who have a strong understanding of the Home Team's context and are able to effectively lead their teams. Civilian officers play a significant role in supporting and sustaining the Home Team's transformation journey, and their contribution is crucial to the success of the Home Team's mission. Additionally, the programme offers unique opportunities to expand their knowledge and network beyond the Home Team, gaining valuable insights into the Singapore Agenda and digital government initiatives. I hope they find the programme both exciting and rewarding. I wish them an incredible learning journey ahead! #learn #Serve #Excel #Hometeam #partnership #learning #development

As One Home Team, the Home Team Departments (HTDs) have the benefit of accessing and learning from each department’s best practices and capabilities through joint exercises and educational sessions. Through these exchanges, the HTDs have the opportunity to pick up knowledge, expand their understanding of various subjects, and ultimately apply key takeaways to enhance their training and operations on the ground. On 12 July 2024, over 30 participants from the various HTDs attended the third Home Team Training Simulation Community of Practice (CoP) session held at Singapore Civil Defence Force 's (SCDF) Civil Defence Academy’s (CDA) Emergency Responders’ Fitness Conditioning and Enhancement Lab (EXCEL) facility. The CoP was organised by the Home Team Academy 's (HTA) Centre for Home Team Simulation (CHTS) and the SCDF’s CDA, which serves as a platform for HTDs to exchange and share innovative approaches to enhancing training and learning delivery through cutting-edge simulation technology. One of the highlights during the session was a presentation on SCDF’s Strength, Conditioning & Rehabilitation in Virtual Environment (STRiVE), a revolutionary system that features a 360-degree interactive virtual environment designed for the comprehensive assessment of human factors, ergonomics, and conditioning in both operational and unconventional terrains, such as the simulation of rough waters during motion acclimatisation training for responders in marine units. Check out the highlights of the CoP in these photos! #HomeTeamAcademy #TrainingandLearning #SimulationTraining
