The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) was the first time to take on the sole responsibility of managing the application and vetting processes for the Starter Homes Project – eResidence Tower 3, which required URA staff to equip with relevant knowledge, mindset and skills within a limited timeframe for the new roles. As such, a holistic project training programme was designed to upskill and reskill the project team, fostering a deep understanding of compliance, case management system, customer service, resilience, and team building, enabling the project works to be completed smoothly and effectively. This remarkable experience resulted in a positive outcome, delivering a win-win-win situation for the staff, URA and society.
