Budget 2025 debate: Gerald Giam on redeployment pathways for mid-career and older PMETs
Mid-career and older professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) need more structured redeployment pathways and stronger financial support for career transitions, said MP Gerald Giam. Speaking in parliament on Thursday (Feb 27), he urged the government to give every Singaporean who wants to work, retrain and contribute the best possible chance to do so. He said there should be a more structured and targeted job placement programme where mid-career jobseekers can have their applications and CVs reviewed and refined by specialists in their fields. These specialists can then actively match and recommend them to employers, increasing their chances of securing a placement. Once hired, these workers can receive training and salary support for a smoother transition to their new roles.
