SINGAPORE - More than 10,000 workers who were displaced or at risk of losing their jobs have been matched with new roles by the National Trades Union Congress Job Security Council in the past few months, said labour chief Ng Chee Meng on Thursday .
"Covid-19 has sped up disruption and moved us towards Industry 4.0 in double quick time. Businesses are on a burning platform, and it's now really adopt new business models, new technologies, or die," he said. Noting the"looming challenges ahead", he also reiterated NTUC's full support of the Government's formation of the National Jobs Council.
Mr Ng also said that to help preserve jobs, NTUC has been working through its unions to help companies tap the training support available, like the Enhanced Training Support Package announced in the earlier supplementary Resilience Budget in March. A new NETF Collaborative Fund Lite, for non-unionised companies with 50 or more NTUC union members, will also provide training support of up to $8,000 per company, to speed up business recovery, said Mr Koh.
For the longer term, NTUC will also partner companies with the capacity and vision to seize opportunities emerging from the pandemic.
