The Institute for Adult Learning (IAL) is an autonomous institute within the Singapore University of Social Sciences. Its mandate is to be the national centre of excellence in learning, practice and research for the Training and Adult Education (TAE) sector in continued support of the national SkillsFuture movement.

The Silver Infocomm Initiative (SII) was developed in 2007 by Infocomm Media Development Authority in Singapore. The initiative targets digital inclusion of senior citizens aged 50 and above. SII promotes IT awareness and literacy among seniors to empower them in a digital society for a more engaged and connected lifestyle. About 200,000 seniors have benefitted from the SII initiative and its activities, such as the Silver IT Fest Plus, mass training and roadshows, classes at Silver Infocomm Junctions (SIJs) and Intergen IT Bootcamps (Infocomm Media Development Authority, 2018).
