Parliament Highlights - 16Oct2012
SINGAPORE: More professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) have received assistance in employment.
Giving an update in Parliament on Tuesday, Acting Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin said from December 2011 to August this year, over 2,000 PMEs have gone through training and career consultation services with CaliberLink.
It is a one-stop service point for PMEs that integrates training assistance and career services.
The Workforce Development Agency (WDA) has also collaborated with the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (ASME) to help companies recruit and retain PMEs through a two-year Max Talent Place-and-Train (PnT) programme.
From its launch in May to August this year, ASME has reached out to over 400 PMEs and more than 300 small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
In addition, WDA is collaborating with two private employment agencies to roll out the "PME Specialist Assistance" programme to help unemployed PMEs enhance their employability.
Within two months of its introduction in July this year, over 40 PMEs were referred by WDA's career centres to the programme.
As Singapore's labour market continues to tighten, Mr Tan said companies need to tap the pool of older workers to meet their staffing needs.
He said these older workers, especially the PMEs, are experienced, mature and arguably more stable workers who will stay on longer with their companies.
Mr Tan added that strong support in continuing education and training (CET) for PMEs throughout their career is also important.
Four in 10 Singaporean workers are expected to be in the category of PMEs by 2030, as the local workforce become better educated and more skilled.
For example, WDA has put in place the Skills Training for Excellence Programme (STEP) to help PMEs update their skills, knowledge and expertise.
Since the launch of STEP last year, over 65,000 PMEs have benefited from its training programme.
Mr Tan also stressed the need to equip PMEs with the required skills.
A key pillar is a strong higher education system that prepares students with skills relevant to current and future industry needs.
Mr Tan said: "These strategies will continue to be worked (on) as we look at how the world is adapting and how we can adjust ourselves in the process as well. Therefore (we have) to make sure we create the right type of PME jobs for the PMEs that are coming on to the market."
Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) Ms Mary Liew expressed concerns that as university places in Singapore grow, mature PMEs who do not have such qualifications may find it difficult to stay competitive.
Mr Tan disagreed, saying: "Some employers may continue to use academic qualifications but it's only one signal of one's capabilities. I think most of us will agree there are many different indicators (of) the skills sets. There are other forms of certifications beyond just a graduate degree qualification, (such as) past experience, past employers' testimonials and ultimately the performance on the job."
Several MPs, including Ms Liew, asked the government to consider more help for mature PMEs to stay competitive against young graduates.
"Will the minister consider offering or increasing available study grants to these PMEs who wish to or who aspire to pursue a degree?" asked Ms Liew.
Mr Tan replied: "I think we should note that a person really does not necessarily need to be university graduate to be successful. They can pursue many skills-based upgrading pathways to hold on to skilled and respectable jobs, be it in the PME job sector or other skilled jobs, such as associate professionals, technicians, craftsman, tradesmen, and so on, which continue to remain important in our economy in Singapore today."

    陈庆炎博士之演讲: “各位同胞,大家好。我是陈庆炎,本届总统选举的候选人。我很高兴能够同大家谈谈我的经历 - 我对总统职能的看法,和我对未来的期望。 我生于1940年。当时,新加坡还是英国殖民地。我跟我的太太 - 徐美娟,是在1964年种族暴动时结婚。我们的第一个孩子出生不久后,新加坡就宣告独立。多年后,新加坡已成为一个以勤劳、清廉、闻名一世的国家。虽然我国天然资源有限,但我们靠着自己的努力,累积了为数可观的财政储备。 近来,国人对民选总统的职能议论纷纷。我了解大家对这方面的关注。但是,我们必须尊重宪法,赋予总统的权力和责任。我们应该吧焦点放在总统的两大职责上。 首先,总统是我国(=新加坡)的元首。在国内,他必须维持中立和超然的地位,以便在必要时能化解政府内部的分歧。在国籍上,总统则代表着新加坡,作为一国之表。他需要拥有充分的信心和尊严。 总统的另一项职责,是兼顾我国的财政储备。如果世界经济继续恶化,我国下一任总统很可能要在动用储备的问题上,做出对新加坡的未来。这个重要的决定,以我在政治和金融方面的经验与能力,我相信我能够胜任总统的职责。在我从政期间,我担任过教育部、国防部、卫生部、贸工部,和财政部部长等重要公职。在这些岗位上,我为国为民效力将近30年。在某一些课题上,我有时和内阁同僚的意见不同。例如,在合同交易方面,我成功地改变政府当时以母亲的协力,来决定入学优先的做法。 在我从政界引退后,我负责领导政府投资公司。在这段时间里,我自力提高储备管理的素质和透明度。我现在出来参选,是因为新加坡需要一位做事稳重、目光长远,和通晓金融的人来担任总统。有一时期,动荡不安,新加坡难免受到影响。但我国的基本条件良好。在全国团结一致下,我深信,我们的明天会更好。 在投票日当天,我国人民必须选出一位富有经验、毅力,和远见的总统。在这里,我恳求大家支持我,让我能再度为国家和人民服务。让我们充满信心,迎接未来。谢谢大家。” 如果哪里写错了,请多多包涵!

    Foreigners should not have been brought in by giving the jobs of Singaporeans. "Cheap" (no CPF) foreigners depressed local wages and their demand push up prices. Singaporeans got screwed big-time. Despite LKY's (and PAP's) claim Singapore is not a First World Country in terns of real wages, productivity, work quality snd standard of living. After 5+decades where is the Swiss Sandard of Living promised 20 years ago? Singapore needs regime change to make in Singaporeans First.

  • @franciscody9622
    @franciscody9622 Před rokem

    I disagree with LKY. Singapore is a country, not a company. So locals should be given priority for jobs and in education. Singaporeans First. Always. Foreigners should only take jobs when locals do not have the skills. But this is not the case. Foreigners are significantly cheaper (up to 17%) to employ because they are exempted from CPF. What has happened is that thousands of Singaporean PMETs lost their jobs to foreigners and wound up unemployed or doing low-paying "transactional jobs" like private car driver or delivery man for online food orders. In other countries these jobs are done by low-skilled migrants. The shortage of skills among local can also be blamed on PAP's "pick-the-winner" scheme. It limited to a small % of each cohort of young Singaporeans that can have a local university education. Singapore needs regime change.
