The PAP needs to cut out this shit of helping foreigners and not locals. They are giving low wage casual and contract workers (translate that as FTs since they are the main low wage employees in the country) employement assistance by setting this training centre up. WTF.

SINGAPORE : Low wage casual and contract workers can now receive employment-related assistance under one roof.

A new centre for contract and casual workers has been set up by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).

Located at the Employment and Employability institute, the centre provides training assistance and job referrals from the institute.

In addition, workers get direct assistance from NTUC's unit for contract and casual workers (UCCW) at the centre.

UCCW has also introduced a new personal achievement card programme to help these workers prepare and update their resume.

This is because many of them are unable to develop one for themselves due to their low educational level and computer literacy.

The labour union hopes to reach out to 20,000 workers through the new centre this year.

NTUC also marked a milestone of helping 3,000 low wage workers be better skilled and receive higher pay under the best sourcing initiatives early adopters' scheme.

The scheme launched in July last year encourages service buyers to award contracts based on quality and performance standards instead of solely on cost.

To date 21 organisations have received a total grant of nearly S$3 million under the scheme.

Maybe this is a new ploy to drum up business for singapore internet providers, all of which are GLCs. Tap a new market, namely low educated aunties and uncles.
