Professional Conversion Programme for Tourism | Jorbb.com

The Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) works with the Community Development Councils (CDC) to operate five career centres in Singapore. These career centres provide a range of services including career-personality profiling, job referrals, advice on training and enhancement of job search related skills.

The career centres will beef up their resources to assist more Singaporeans. Starting this month, they will also ramp up the frequency of workshops where PMETs can pick up useful tips, knowledge and skills in job search and career transition, as well as rebuild their confidence and overcome mindsets that may hinder their efforts to seek re-employment.

To help and enable more PMETs to seize these opportunities and switch careers, WDA will work with economic agencies and tripartite partners to introduce more professional conversion programmes (PCPs) for the growth sectors. Over the last month, four programmes in pre-school education, pharmaceutical manufacturing, healthcare and workplace safety and health have been developed. And over the next three months, WDA will be working with its partners to roll out similar programmes for digital animation artists and stage managers and technicians. These are part of the Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience, or SPUR, announced recently.

Over the next year, we expect 100 Singaporean PMET workers to benefit from the PCP for Tourism. They will pursue a Workforce Skills Qualifications Diploma in Tourism at TMIS, while at the same time, gain practical work experience through apprenticeships in tourism establishments in Sentosa in areas such as Food & Beverage, Events, Retail and Attractions. In addition, unemployed Singaporeans who are participating in the programme will receive a training stipend.
