More jobs for the unemployed | Jorbb.com


Plans to hire 4,500 people in the health industry has been brought forward in a bid to provide jobs for the workers who got retrenched.

The range of jobs provided includes health-care professionals, like nurses and pharmacists to administrative positions like the counter staff and telephone operators, with recruitment taking place effectively. The original plan was to hire 6,200 people over a period of 5 years, according to a report by The Straits Times. However, the credit crunch has pushed forward such plans to a level in tandem with demands for employment. The Ministry of Health intends to boost the existing pool of practitioners by 40%.

In addition, other government bodies like the Home Affairs and Education ministries will be recruiting 1,000 to 7,500 people this year respectively.

The Government Parliamentary Committee's deputy chairman Lam Pin Min said, "The acceleration of recruitment will be a win-win solution." He added the plan will help alleviate the manpower crunch in the health-care sector and provide career opportunities for those who are retrenched or considering a mid-career switch.
