“Need to equip Singaporeans with in-demand skills as uncertainties shake job market” – Manpower Minister Tan See Leng

There is a pressing need to equip Singaporeans with the necessary skills to compete on a global scale, as shortening economic cycles and increasing market volatility bring about more frequent employment shocks.

This comes as the world faces rising uncertainties, from geopolitical tensions to inflationary pressures, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng on Wednesday (Nov 2).

Workers have to take charge of their own career journey, including having the desire to refresh their skills and keep up-to-date with new developments, he said.

Businesses too, are encouraged to focus on their long-term transformation plans, including adopting innovations and digitalising their work processes, so they are more resilient to changes.
