Singapore still has plenty of tech jobs amid lay-offs worldwide: Ng Chee Meng

SINGAPORE - The demand for tech talent here is still high amid the spate of tech firms laying off employees worldwide, said labour chief Ng Chee Meng on Friday.

The lack of tech talent here means that opportunities are open even to those who have not worked in a while and others who are keen on a mid-career switch to tech, he added. Mr Ng encouraged job seekers to tap the courses and traineeships available at the fair to find a way into tech. This includes AWS’ re/Start programme, which was launched in June to provide training for tech roles, and career coaching services to help job hunters in their search.

Regarding the recent lay-offs, Mr Ng said: “A lot of jobs have been changed by tech, so if workers don’t reskill, it will be hard to keep a job.”
