Title: Singapore’s highest-demand careers: MOM releases the 2025 list of talent-starved jobs
 
Source: Vulcan Post, https://vulcanpost.com/876120/singapore-...jobs-2025/
 
Publication Date: November 18, 2024
 
Theme: This article discusses the Singapore Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) 2025 Shortage Occupation List (SOL), highlighting the most in-demand professions across various strategic sectors.

The inconsistencies in the article. Here are some of the most prominent ones:
 
Redundant Job Titles:
 
- Healthcare: The article lists multiple job titles that are essentially synonymous, such as "Diagnostic Radiographer," "Medical Diagnostic Radiographer," and "Radiologic Technologist." This redundancy makes it difficult to discern the specific skills or qualifications required for each role. It's likely that these titles are interchangeable and the article could have consolidated them for clarity.
- Infocomm Technology: The article lists "Cyber Defense Incident Responder" and "Cyber Incident Responder" as separate entries. While there might be subtle differences, they appear to be very similar roles, making the repetition unnecessary.
 
Lack of Specificity:
 
- General Job Titles: The article uses broad job titles like "Software Developer" and "Data Scientist" without specifying the specific areas of expertise or technologies required. For example, a "Software Developer" could specialize in web development, mobile app development, or data analysis, each requiring different skills.
- Lack of Skill Requirements: The article doesn't provide information about the specific skills, qualifications, or experience needed for each role. This lack of detail makes it challenging for individuals to determine if they possess the necessary qualifications for these in-demand jobs.
 
Overly Broad Categories:
 
- Infocomm Technology: The "Infocomm Technology" category is overly broad and encompasses a wide range of roles with diverse skill sets. The article doesn't delve into the specific areas within this category that are experiencing the most significant shortages, making it difficult to understand the specific needs of the industry. For example, are they looking for more cybersecurity specialists, data scientists, or software developers?
- Financial Services: The category "Financial Services" is also broad. The article mentions specific roles like "Investment Advisor" and "Relationship Manager," but doesn't provide context on the specific types of financial services or the specific skills required for these roles.
 
The ambiguities in the article. Here are some of the most prominent ones:
 
Ambiguous Scope:
 
- "Strategic Needs" Category: The article includes a category titled "Strategic Needs" but doesn't provide a clear definition or explanation of what this category encompasses. It's unclear what specific roles fall under this category and how they differ from the other listed occupations.
- "Financial Services" Category: The article mentions "Financial or Investment advisor (ultra-high / high net worth / family office / philanthropy)" as a specific role within the "Financial Services" category. However, it doesn't clarify what distinguishes these advisors from other "Investment Advisors" listed in the same category.
 
Unclear Skill Requirements:
 
- "Green Economy" Category: The article lists various roles related to carbon trading and management, but doesn't specify the specific skills or qualifications required for each role. For example, what technical expertise is needed for a "Carbon Standards & Methodology Analyst" compared to a "Carbon Project Manager"?
- "Infocomm Technology" Category: The article lists numerous roles related to cybersecurity but doesn't provide clear distinctions between the different roles and their respective skill sets. For example, how does a "Cyber Threat Monitoring Analyst" differ from a "Cybersecurity Architect"?
 
Lack of Context:
 
- "Agritech" Category: While the article mentions the need for professionals in "Agritech," it doesn't provide context on the specific challenges or opportunities within this sector in Singapore. For example, what are the specific areas of agritech that are experiencing the most significant shortages?
- "Maritime" Category: The article mentions "Marine Superintendent" and "Marine Technical Superintendent" as in-demand roles. However, it doesn't provide any context on the specific challenges or opportunities within the maritime sector in Singapore.
 
Overall:
 
The article's ambiguities make it difficult for readers to fully understand the nuances of the listed occupations and their associated career paths. The lack of clear definitions, specific skill requirements, and contextual information creates uncertainty and makes it challenging for individuals to assess their suitability for these in-demand roles.

The flaws in the article. Here's a breakdown of the key flaws:
 
1. Lack of Specificity and Depth:
 
- Overly Broad Categories: The article uses broad categories like "Infocomm Technology" and "Financial Services" without delving into the specific areas within these categories that are experiencing the most significant shortages. This makes it difficult for readers to understand the precise needs of the industry.

- General Job Titles: The article frequently uses general job titles like "Software Developer" and "Data Scientist" without specifying the specific areas of expertise or technologies required. This lack of specificity makes it difficult for individuals to assess whether they possess the necessary skills for these roles.

- Limited Skill Requirements: The article provides minimal information about the specific skills, qualifications, or experience needed for each role. This lack of detail makes it challenging for individuals to determine if they possess the necessary qualifications for these in-demand jobs.
 
2. Redundancy and Inconsistency:
 
- Repetitive Job Titles: The article lists numerous job titles that are essentially synonymous, such as "Diagnostic Radiographer," "Medical Diagnostic Radiographer," and "Radiologic Technologist." This redundancy makes it difficult to discern the specific skills or qualifications required for each role.

- Confusing Categories: The article includes a category titled "Strategic Needs" but doesn't provide a clear definition or explanation of what this category encompasses. It's unclear what specific roles fall under this category and how they differ from the other listed occupations.
 
3. Lack of Context and Analysis:
 
- Limited Industry Insights: The article mentions the growing importance of cybersecurity, green economy, and healthcare but doesn't provide a comprehensive overview of the trends driving these demands. More context on the specific challenges or opportunities within these sectors would enhance the article's value.

- Missing Explanation of Demand: The article doesn't adequately explain why these specific occupations are in high demand. It simply states that there's a talent shortage without providing any insights into the underlying factors driving this shortage.
 
4. Ambiguous Language and Unclear Definitions:
 
- Vague Descriptions: The article uses vague language and doesn't provide clear definitions for some of the listed roles. This makes it difficult for readers to understand the specific responsibilities and requirements of these occupations.
- Unclear Distinctions: The article doesn't always provide clear distinctions between similar roles, making it difficult for readers to understand the differences in skills and responsibilities.
 
Overall, the article suffers from a lack of depth, specificity, and contextual analysis. Its flaws make it difficult for readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the in-demand occupations and their associated career paths.

This list is not entirely accurate. There is now a surplus of data scientists and software developers. MOM isn't aware of the tech retrenchments going on?

Singapore’s highest-demand careers: MOM releases the 2025 list of talent-starved jobs 

this is a scam. there is no shortage of manpower.

the govt just need to train enough local manpower for these jobs.
the govt refuses to train them and prefer to import foreigners.

very easy to verify.
just ask the govt to fund training and job attachment to train fresh graduates and PMETs for the job.
I have seen that all these job programmes are usually 10 times over subscribed.
for example, yearly, a 400 vacancies program has 4000 applicants.
yearly, a 30 vacancies program has more than 300 applicants.

if every job training program has 10 times subscription, why does the govt need foreigners ?

let me give a prominent example.

some parents went to see MP Ong Ye Kung who is the Minister of Health because their children cannot get into nursing course due to limited intake.
Minister Ong said he would look into increasing the nursing intake.

yet in 2023/2024. MOH recruited 4000 foreign nurses.
why does the govt need foreign nurses when there are more than enough local nursing applicants ?

The truly in demand jobs are dominated by old turtles who refused to move on.
