SINGAPORE: A new programme to encourage younger hawkers to join the trade was officially launched on Monday .

NEA hopes that the Hawkers' Development Programme will address some of the problems, making it easier for younger hawkers to enter the trade permanently. The agency expects to train at least 100 aspiring hawkers in the next three years. The second stage is where aspiring hawkers will be apprenticed to experienced hawkers for two months. After this stint, they can apply to NEA’s Incubation Stall Programme or bid for a stall in NEA’s monthly tender.

Aspiring hawker Gary Lim, 39, who joined an abridged version of the Hawkers' Development Programme, wants to join the trade out of his love for hawker food.
