SINGAPORE - More than 100 mid-career workers have been successfully placed in company attachments as of end-October, with around a quarter of them being mature workers, said Manpower Minister Josephine Teo in a Facebook post on Friday .
The attachments come under the SGUnited Mid-Career Pathways Programme, which was launched in August to help mid-career workers build useful skills as a step towards permanent jobs. She added that the programme can help mid-career jobseekers gauge their suitability for a new role or sector while also acquiring industry-relevant experience and establishing new professional networks.
"They have some of the best practices from their previous work organisations, and by injecting them into ours, they help enrich us all.""It allows us to tap on WSG's resources to reach out to experienced job seekers, and with some training internally, help them understand our business. They will in turn be able to help us elevate further.Semiconductor firm GlobalFoundries also joined the programme to find additional sources of talent to drive company growth.
