Some fresh grads endure tough job hunts, even with thousands of entry-level PMET job openings - CNA https://share.google/m09mKpHaOo6fWumXj

The govt has to tell us how many of the 32,800 entry-level vacancies for PMETs in March 2026 - accounting for 43.6% of all white collar job openings - are reserved for foreigners. It makes sense to suspect that since the PAP wants to attract more non-S'poreans to settle here, they have to provide them good jobs and add a sweetener of exemption from NS for foreign males.

"I am sorry."

That was the message from Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech) chairman Chng Kai Fong to all affected staff in the agency's retrenchment exercise.

"I am sorry for the disruption to you and your families. Thank you for what you have given GovTech and Singapore," he said.


GovTech announced on Wednesday (July 15) that it will be reducing its headcount by up to nine per cent over the next two years, as it shifts to build and manage its own digital products.

In a note to GovTech officers, which was seen by AsiaOne, Chng acknowledged that this was "difficult news" and thanked the affected staff.

"The systems you built are running in production today and serving Singaporeans. That contribution endures and it will remain part of GovTech's story," he said.


He also addressed the officers who remain, saying: "To colleagues who are staying: we owe it to those leaving to make this transformation real, not another reorganisation on paper."

A total of 305 staff from GovTech headquarters and in project and vendor management roles are affected by the first of three planned waves of job cuts.

Of these, 102 will remain in their current roles and 110 will take up apprenticeships to transition into other capabilities. The remaining 93 officers are leaving the agency.

Chng, who also holds permanent secretary appointments in the Ministry of Digital Development and Information and the Prime Minister's Office, stressed that the reorganisation was "not an AI-driven downsizing exercise".

The SG govt claims that there is a job mismatch between local fresh grads and available openings i.e. the vacancies are meant for CECAs.

 

[joemartini]

all positions in civil service are now reserved for CECA.
because of AI, the American IT giants and soon, the Angmo Banks will start to depose of the CECA.

I hope all the civil service old timers and deadwood all end up like govtech.
