70 Dr Charlene Chen asked the Minister for Manpower (a) whether the Ministry can provide an update on the Jobs Transformation Maps; (b) how these initiatives support mid-career employees adapting to industry shifts; and (c) what assistance is provided to help sectors that are undergoing restructuring to equip affected workers for new or redesigned roles.
Dr Tan See Leng : To date, 19 Jobs Transformation Maps (JTMs) have been launched, covering about 1.7 million employed residents.
To support mid-career employees in adapting to industry shifts, Workforce Singapore (WSG) uses the insights from JTMs to shape sectoral workforce interventions, such as the Job Redesign and Reskilling (JRR) Career Conversion Programmes (CCPs). JRR CCPs reskill workers in growth job roles identified in JTMs. For example, the JTM findings have guided the development of CCP for Sustainability Professionals and the training for these roles. In 2024, JRR CCPs enabled more than 400 companies to reskill workers into growth job roles, benefitting around 2,300 individuals.
For sectors undergoing restructuring, JTMs help WSG and sector agencies anticipate future workforce needs and develop appropriate workforce interventions. For example, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Institute of Banking and Finance and WSG are working with several financial institutions to translate the insights from a JTM on Generative AI in the Financial Services Sector to upskilling and reskilling interventions for impacted jobs. WSG and the Singapore Tourism Board have also rolled out an industry playbook and workshops based on insights from the Hotel Industry's JTM to share lessons across the sector.
WSG continuously refines JTM methodologies based on sector agency feedback and industry insights so that JTM recommendations can be translated into actionable plans for industry.
