The Leadership & People Management (WSQ LPM) qualifications under Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) is a national credential system that trains, develops, assesses and certifies skills and competencies for the workforce.

Promote holistic development of the workforce through technical and generic skills and competencies;
