The government’s commitment to further green up the island and transform the Garden City into a City in a Garden has created unprecedented opportunities for landscape and horticulture professionals.

To meet the challenges of our changing landscape, NParks works with partners like the Employment and Employability Institute (e2i), Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA), National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), and Singapore Landscape Industry Council (SLIC) to raise the profile and professionalism of the industry.

Today, some 21,000 workers are employed in the industry and manpower is expected to grow by 4% annually.

Within our organisation, we also provide opportunities to those with a passion for greenery. A structured professional development pathway equips staff without a horticultural background with the necessary skills and knowledge.
