Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 4: Eileen Chong on supporting the portfolio generation
Singapore has made meaningful progress in adopting skill-first practices but key gaps such as business adoption of skills hiring and stronger ecosystem coordination remain, said NCMP Eileen Chong. She hopes the new statutory board formed by the merger of Workforce Singapore and SkillsFuture Singapore as a one-stop shop for workers can also become a transformational partner for employers. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Mar 3), Ms Chong urged the new agency to develop practical toolkits for employers to use in portfolio-based assessment and skill-first hiring.
