Mr Ong is calling on employers to "keep an open mind" in their selection of candidates for training, especially as there is "no obligation" for them to hire trainees after the programmes.ABOUT 1,300 people so far have signed up for the more than 6,500 training places available under the SGUnited Skills Programme, Education Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Friday.
The training programmes are heavily subsidised and offer trainees a monthly allowance while they undergo training over six to 12 months. The SMU SGUnited Business and Digital Transformation Programme will comprise training, industry mentorship and real-life business projects from the participating companies.
Now,"we want to target groups that are more vulnerable, that need our help, need that six to 12 months' retooling at this stage of their career, in this current situation".
