SINGAPORE – NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute will take over two career centres and 10 Jobs and Skills Centres from Workforce Singapore from April 1.

Mr Desmond Tan, Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office and National Trades Union Congress deputy secretary-general, announced the move to transfer centres run by WSG to the labour movement in Parliament during the Budget debate on Feb 27, but said then that more details were to come. “This will enable individuals to pursue upskilling purposefully, and ensure that skills acquired are relevant to current and future jobs.”

Individuals can also continue to seek career advice through WSG’s mobile network of Careers Connect On-The-Go, which is deployed islandwide on a rotational basis to bring career-matching services closer to individuals in the heartland, they said.The partners also said e2i will leverage NTUC’s extensive community network, including business associations and grassroots, in helping job seekers throughout their career journeys.
