The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is relooking its jobs retraining programme with a view to preparing professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) for new roles in their existing companies, rather than waiting for them to be retrenched.
It will work more closely with economic agencies and companies to identify emerging jobs that are being created - and then redeploy their workers accordingly.
