Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 5: Gerald Giam on better help for jobseekers
Career coaching is meant to bridge gaps. Are career coaches actively connecting jobseekers with employers or do they mainly review resumes and point jobseekers to existing digital resources? Does Workforce Singapore (WSG) require career coaches to have industry knowledge and hiring experience to effectively guide jobseekers towards the right opportunities? While digital tools are useful, many jobseekers, especially those who are not tech-savvy or fluent in English, may struggle to use them effectively. How does WSG tailor its help to these jobseekers? MP Gerald Giam raised these issues in parliament on Thursday (Mar 6).
