3.13 We will step up the Job Re-creation Programme
(JRP) to cover more sectors and more workers.
NTUC and WDA have already made good progress in
re-designing jobs and creating viable career progression
paths for low-wage workers. We have seen good
results in sectors like landscaping, security,
cleaning, healthcare, education, shipbuilding,
public transport, and retail. Last year, 7,200
jobs were targeted for job re-creation, and 4,600
job seekers were matched to these re-created jobs.
3.14 WDA and NTUC will ramp up the JRP. They
target to re-create 10,000 jobs a year. To support
these efforts, the Government will allocate $40
million over three years.
