These intermediaries will help develop workers, says Wong. “Workers themselves may not know what training programmes to go for, or what competencies and skills they need to secure better jobs.”
The government will appoint intermediaries in various institutions to help workers across the spectrum, says Finance Minister Lawrence Wong in his Budget 2023 speech on Feb 14.
Known as “Jobs-Skills Integrators”, these intermediaries will be appointed to work with industry, training and employment facilitation partners to optimise training and placement. Trade associations and chambers, unions and training providers are examples of institutions well-placed to be such "Integrators".
