SINGAPORE: New measures to grow Singapore’s social service workforce were announced on Tuesday (Dec 9), including an expanded study award scheme and higher tuition sponsorship.
These come as Singapore gears up to tackle a rapidly ageing population, as well as evolving challenges such as mental health issues, social isolation and families with complex needs.
“These shifts will likely result in increasingly complex demands placed on the limited manpower in our sector,” said Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli as he announced the support measures.
