Budget 2023: New ‘jobs-skills integrators’ to help employers enhance training, placement of workers
Support measures for employers who hire senior workers, lower-wage workers, people with disabilities and ex-offenders were also rolled out at Budget 2023.
SINGAPORE: Employers will soon have a new resource to tap on to ensure better training and placement of workers in their industries.
This new entity, known as jobs-skills integrators, will be appointed and equipped as “labour market intermediaries” who can work with industry, training and employment facilitation partners to optimise training and job placement, announced Finance Minister Lawrence Wong on Tuesday (Feb 14).
Delivering his Budget speech in Parliament, Mr Wong said these integrators can be existing institutions, but they will have new responsibilities and outcomes to deliver.
