MTI officers work with companies and other partners to drive productivity-led growth, safeguard and expand Singapore's economic space, and build a future-ready economy with thriving firms and good jobs. MTI officers work closely with their supervisors to chart their career growth, and have a wide range of opportunities to build up and deepen their skills, such as through internal rotations, secondments to public agencies, private companies and international organisations, and short-term attachments. The MTI Academy also provides a wide range of learning opportunities. Officers with leadership potential also learn leadership skills under LEAP, MTI's in-house leadership development programme
