Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 5: Jean See on developmental support for freelancers
Freelancer-dominated sectors such as arts and culture, media and design rank among the world’s fastest-growing and most rapidly transforming sectors. Yet freelancers lack access to training and development opportunities that employers provide to full-time workers. NMP Jean See made these points in parliament on Thursday (Mar 6). She asked how freelancers can be supported by new schemes such as the SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support Scheme and SkillsFuture Level-Up Programme, and whether the government would consider a top-up for freelancers who use half or more of their SkillsFuture Credits.
