Tan See Leng’s call for grads to ‘keep open mind’ in their job search​

The government has said it is working to improve employment outcomes for fresh graduates.

Minister of State for Trade and Industry Gan Siow Huang said on 9 July that authorities are “closely monitoring” the situation.

Institutes of higher learning are collaborating with agencies such as Workforce Singapore and the NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute to organise career fairs, workshops, and mentoring sessions.

The Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce, led by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, is also exploring measures to support new graduates.

The task force, set up in April, is addressing the wider economic impact of US-imposed tariffs.

Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng added on 10 July that entry-level job vacancies remain steady.

“To our 2025 graduates, it is still early in your job search. We encourage everyone to keep an open mind to different opportunities,” he said.

However, this message has drawn criticism from netizens, who argue it lacks actionable support.
