Addressing Singapore’s war for talent, the Ministry of Manpower has launched initiatives to encourage employers to consider up-skillling and re-skillling Singaporean jobseekers, rather than hiring to plug and play.

The Enhanced Hiring Incentive launched in 2021 encourages hiring and up-skilling workers over the age of 40, while Skills Future SG - Workforce Singapore (SSG-WSG) focuses on people looking to make a mid-career switch.

Employers can sign up with these programmes before they start the hiring process to find out which training courses are available and relevant to their industry.
