Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 4: Eileen Chong on supporting the portfolio generation
Singapore has made meaningful progress in adopting skills-first practices but key gaps such as business adoption of skills-first 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 skills-first hiring.
