More help for workers, especially ITE and poly grads, to 'take ownership' of career and training: DPM…
Speaking to around 1,400 labour movement leaders, workers and tripartite partners during the National Trades Union Congress May Day rally held at Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre, Mr Wong said that the Government will shift SkillsFuture to a “higher gear”.
Integrating new technologies like AI into the workplace will bring sweeping changes, including ones for highly-trained workers. Mr Wong added that the Government is also looking at other issues in their Forward Singapore review. These include providing more support for those who have lost their jobs as well as uplifting lower-wage workers.
Touching on the relationship between the ruling People's Action Party and NTUC, Mr Wong said that tripartism is the Government’s “secret recipe”, as well as “one of our greatest and most sustainable competitive advantages”. Fortunately, Singapore is"on the right track" and its tripartite approach ensures that the country has the"best chance of overcoming challenges and seizing new opportunities", said Mr Wong.
