Government understand that most of the fresh graduates are entering a tough job market.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the economy, both globally and in Singapore. The companies are doing their utmost to keep their workers during this period, with the help of the Jobs Support Scheme. So it is no surprise that fewer of them are hiring. This was a similar situation in 2008-2009, during the Global Financial Crisis.
The Minister of minister of finance have announced the #SGUnited Traineeships Programme during the Resilience Budget to provide additional opportunities for our fresh graduates. This $100 million programme will provide traineeships of up to one year, with Government funding 80% of the training allowance.
To those graduating this year, government will create as many opportunities for you as we can in this difficult time. You can check out for more details on the SGUnited Traineeships at MyCareersFuture.sg.
