His latest comments were in response to a question from Mr Khanna on what problem was affecting skills training in Singapore, leaving many job vacancies unfilled.

Demurring, Mr Wong said the unfilled vacancies were not a symptom of training not being effective enough, but instead reflected the amount of opportunities available in Singapore, with the Republic already approaching full employment, on a par with pre-pandemic levels.

“It’s not a bad problem to have that there are more opportunities, but we must expect, therefore, that we can’t protect every job,” he added.

if full employment, why WSG banking job programme got 4000 applicants applied for 700 IT job vacancies ?

why Temasek Temus job programme got 800 applicants applied for 22 IT job vacancies ?

most unfilled vacancies have more than 10 applicants, how can he say unfilled vacancies are due to full employment or few applicants ?

likely unfilled vacancies are due to skill mismatch or untrained locals.
