Mr Wong said that these will complement efforts at the national level through SkillsFuture, Workforce Singapore, the National Trades Union Congress’ (NTUC) Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) and tripartite efforts.
“As a small open economy, Singapore will always be exposed to global ups and downs. When the world is going well, we feel the boost. When the world slows down, we feel it very quickly as well,” he said.
“We have no control over these external swings, but with our combined efforts, we can mitigate the impact on our people. Whatever the state of the world or whatever the state of the global economy, we will ensure that jobseekers and workers in Singapore will always be supported and cared for. That is our commitment.”
