u can study non-stop but what is the point when jobs are flowing to outsiders ?

what is the incentive for companies to employ u after your skillsfuture studies vs hiring their own ppl from their own countries ?

just open your eyes wide and look at every MNC in sg. how many inside are real singaporeans ?

This is more pragmatic.
If you ask mid career to study, they need to have salary due to heavy family commitment, otherwise it is very difficult.

They alway come out half F system.

For IT industry they always look for Sporeans as a lot of govt projects due to security clearance need. But IT is not for everyone so I guess pap need to recognise that.

Spore ministries stat boards all have a lot of IT systems all need ppl but if all Sporeans only wanna do project management and not hands on software development works then Ceca will still come in do. I see a lot since in this since 1998.

Can you all imagine govt IT code written by foreigners instead of Sporeans? No one know the impact long term? Data security is utmost important but some hard to detect bugs requires real data to test out so hehe...

I notice the govt IT training job programmes that the companies only want candidates who graduated not more than 3 years ago.
   
why the govt cannot train the mid career professionals especially engineers to work in IT ?

PAP thinks that 61% are stupid which is true!

Even with Compass Framework, companies will not hire locals

Teh only way is to deport all Foreigners ( FTs & PRs)

in NON- TECH jobs and low- end Tech jobs

Reason is mid career professional may not want to do hands on work anymore. They want to do more management kind of job role instead which may not have a lot of vacancies.

1.  Did PAP show us that they can also do hands work?

2.  Can middle-age with 老花 be  Factory Engineers?

3.  How many elderly can be waitors for 4 hours?

For the past 10 Years, did the useless PAP Plan for the Aging population to work till 75 years- old??

Elderly cannot do HDB cleaner cleaner because their knees are painful

And Hawker Center cleaners are worst than Under- Developed countries without gloves

Security Guards are often bullied

This authority really destroying our country......by that time many will be gone so there won't be accountability.
Many local will struggle for a livelihoods due to AI objective.These elites never realized AI can never give taxes like human. So where are those money coming from to preserve this country.

cannot be.
many mid career cannot find jobs, end up doing more manual jobs like grab delivery or grab driving which are worst than IT jobs.

the govt has to make use of the mid career to reduce the IT manpower shortage instead of recruiting CECA.

Retirees dont mind learning and get certified competent. Problem is will employer hire them. Most likely won't. Mid career got $4K skillfuture funds. Retiree got what?. $4K hard cash should be credited to retiree account. Rolleyes

50+ Dish washer upgrade skill is can do what?

50+ security guard upgrade skill is can do what?

50+ kitchen helper upgrade skill is can do what?

The next set of questions:

As a boss, you need security guard, you will hire 50+ local or FW?

As a boss, you need kitchen helper, you will hire 50+ local or FW?

As a boss, you need toilet cleaner, you will hire 50+ local or FW?

THIS!   upskill with 10 new skills also no use.

Companies continue to hire FTs & leave sinkees out also like that.

Those new skills will go to waste after months & months of looking/waiting for job. In the end, back to square one!

Learn like nvr learn.  

Even those Job conversion which Tech Minister intro like Temus or TFip, those companies play punk & release some "learners" halfway or at end of contract, release them.  All for reasons of getting actual "qualified personnel".

The lack and inability to plan by the Govt has led to the sorry state it is today. Those jobs above can be done by healthy young adults and not seniors.
