“The allowance allows the participants, who may be supporting a family or living on their own, to focus on their training,” Phua says. According to Phua Huishan, the operations lead for Generation Singapore, this has played a key role in the program’s success. There is keen demand for tech workers in the island nation, and the government there helps subsidize training for citizens. By the end of this year, the program expects to have prepared some 500 of its participants for job placement. These include positions in cloud support and DevOps, business intelligence and data analytics, and full-stack development.
Their most recent initiative, #GetReadySG, launched with Microsoft, is training 1000+ unemployed people-40 percent of whom are mid-career workers-with little or no tech experience for entry-level jobs in the industry. Along the way, the organization has identified specific interventions to help this group secure jobs. Generation Singapore has been retraining older workers since 2018.
