Acquiring knowledge is often associated with education, but it is a fact that it is a lifelong process.

In summary, learning is an internal activity and a 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹.

Kopi has a rich history in Singapore, dating back to the 19th century when European settlers in colonial Singapore had a habit of drinking coffee. They imported arabica beans, which merchants coated with sugar to preserve it during shipping. When locals picked up the habit as well, many could only afford the cheaper robusta beans grown in Indonesia.

In traditional style, the beans were brewed using a flannel 'sock' filter, finishing off with sugar and evaporated milk. And the Singapore Kopi - a thick, sweet coffee - is thus born.

According to data from the Ministry of Manpower in Singapore, the median hourly wage for cleaners in the city-state is SGD8.50 as of 2021. This is lower than the minimum wages in many other high-income countries.

With the Progressive Wage Model (PWM) in place, workers in the cleaning sector can also achieve higher income! The PWM helps to bridge the wage gap by ensuring that lower-wage cleaners also have the opportunity to progress and achieve higher pay through training and skill development.

With the right training and education, you can increase your pay and advance your career in the cleaning industry.
