Learning and Development

At EMA, our staff is our most valuable asset and we place great emphasis on their training and development. We want them to be equipped with the knowledge, skills and aptitude to perform their tasks competently and confidently, to meet organisational goals. As part of staff development and growth, EMA has established structured training frameworks for new and existing staff to enhance their capability to perform core functions and promote continuous learning.

The learning process kick-starts on the first day of work and continues through a series of learning and development initiatives at different stages of each staff's career with EMA. A buddy system is also in place to help new staff settle in quickly. Supervisors of our new hires are ready and willing to provide guidance to help them assimilate into the organisation and respective teams more easily. Our new staff can also look forward to a suite of programmes to help them acquire the relevant skills and knowledge to get them up to speed and flourish in their careers with us, here in EMA.

Learning may take place informally at the workplace and on-the-job. New staff can learn under the guidance of experienced senior staff with the objective of imparting knowledge and know-how. There are also platforms such as staff forums, talks and site visits to level up the knowledge and expertise of staff.

Job Rotation

Each division in EMA is distinct and represents a critical aspect of our core business. To broaden your perspective and deepen your knowledge, opportunities for rotation within the organisation are available to help you grow in your career. Officers may also have the opportunity to be seconded to agencies within the MTI FIREfly family, or to private sector companies, to gain additional exposure.
