SINGAPORE — Career centres will be set up in eight Housing and Development Board (HDB) towns from July 1, with more to come in August, Manpower Minister Josephine Teo announced on Sunday (June 21).

The new SGUnited Jobs and Skills Centres, to be located in eight community centres in the first phase, will allow residents in Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Jurong West, Sengkang, Woodlands and Yishun to access career matching services and advice easily.

All 24 HDB towns — including the still-developing town of Tengah — will eventually have these job and skills centres that will be staffed by around 100 Workforce Singapore (WSG) career ambassadors across all the centres.

Said the WSG: “As the Government creates a wider range of opportunities for jobseekers through the SGUnited Jobs and Skills Package, these satellite career centres will bring those opportunities closer to jobseekers by providing information on jobs and training, and helping them find the most suitable pathway based on their needs.”

When jobseekers turn up at these satellite centres, an ambassador will provide them with career advisory and guidance on the SGUnited Jobs and Skills Package.

Announced in the Fortitude Budget by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat last month, the package is meant to expand job, traineeship and skills training opportunities to aid around 100,000 Singaporeans affected by the economic fallout arising from Covid-19.

The ambassadors can also assist in making appointments at other career centres, such as WSG’s Careers Connect or the labour movement’s Employment and Employability Institute centres, for those who need more in-depth career coaching services.

Newly hired ambassadors will undergo training to be equipped with the skills and competencies necessary to provide jobseekers with timely and relevant career advice, said the agency.

A second wave of new centres will be set up in Bukit Merah, Geylang, Hougang, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Tampines and Toa Payoh from Aug 1.

Bishan, Bukit Panjang, Clementi, Jurong East, Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, Sembawang and Serangoon will have their centres set up on Aug 15.

Mr Tan Choon Shian, WSG’s chief executive, noted the anxieties and concerns Singaporeans have over jobs and livelihoods amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Said Mr Tan: “We are therefore working closely with our partners to set up the SGUnited Jobs and Skills Centres deeper within the heartlands to reach more Singaporeans, guide them in tapping the scaled-up opportunities, and embark on new pathways that will fulfil their career aspirations even amid this Covid-19 storm.
