SPUR has more than 60 training pathways for workers

There will be more than 60 skills upgrading pathways for rank and file workers and professionals under the new SPUR initiative to help workers reskill for new jobs.

The government is concerned that the economic downturn will affect a growing number of professionals, managers, executives and technicians or PMETs.

So the latest initiative - Skills Programme for Upgrading & Resilience (SPUR) - is designed to help these workers acquire news skills for new jobs.

SPUR has spelt out clear career pathways for them. For example, if a manager is retrenched, he can approach the Employment and Employability Institute where he can choose from a list of upgrading pathways in growth sectors.

He will then undergo retraining for the new job. The trainee will receive a fee subsidy for the course and a training allowance.
