SG Transport Minister: Younger Singaporean workers will require continuous retraining as they’re unlikely to work with just one employer for long

SummaryAs younger Singaporeans are expected to change employers more often, Singapore’s focus should shift towards continuous retraining throughout their careers rather than before employment. Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow said Singapore’s ageing population and low birth rate make it vital to invest more heavily in developing every worker’s skills. More than 7,700 stakeholders contributed to the Economic Strategy Review, which outlines 32 recommendations to strengthen jobs, growth and economic resilience. SINGAPORE: Singapore’s workforce is heading into an era where changing jobs may become the norm rather than the exception. That forward-looking approach could help workers stay prepared as industries and technology continue to evolve.
