Here are some quotes from the article with potential inconsistencies pointed out:
Quote 1:
"Mr Chan said that SkillsFuture has been effective in helping older workers close their skills gaps."
Inconsistency: Later in the article, it is mentioned that "some older workers may face challenges in keeping up with technological changes". This statement seems to contradict the initial claim that SkillsFuture has been effective in helping older workers close their skills gaps.
Quote 2:
"Under the SkillsFuture initiative, Singaporeans aged 40 and above can receive up to 90% subsidy for course fees..."
Inconsistency: However, the article does not mention whether the subsidy is sufficient to cover the costs of courses, or whether there are any other barriers to accessing training (e.g. time constraints, lack of awareness about available courses).
Quote 3:
"Mr Chan said that the government is committed to helping older workers adapt to changing job market demands."
Inconsistency: While the government's commitment to helping older workers is stated, the article does not provide specific details on how this commitment will be implemented, or what concrete measures will be taken to support older workers.
Quote 4:
"Since its launch in 2015, SkillsFuture has supported over 460,000 Singaporeans in their skills development and career advancement."
Inconsistency: The article mentions the number of Singaporeans supported by SkillsFuture, but does not provide information on the outcomes for these individuals (e.g. whether they were able to find employment, or advance in their careers).
