Starting April 2025, Workforce Singapore will be implementing the SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support (JS) scheme to help involuntarily unemployed persons bounce back from employment setbacks. The JS scheme provides temporary financial support to ease the pressure of rushing into a potentially ill-fitting job. With some peace of mind and job search support, the scheme aims to support involuntarily unemployed persons to find a job that makes better use of their skills and experiences. To qualify for the JS payouts, individuals will have to do their part to actively search for a new job, such as applying for jobs, attending career coaching or participating in training courses. The job search condition provides flexibility to individuals to customise their job search efforts. More details on the job search conditions will be shared closer to April 2025.

🌍 Redefining the Future: The Impact of Sustainability on Finance 💵 With the growing focus on sustainability, the fusion of finance and environmental responsibility is more crucial than ever. Emerging technologies are accelerating this shift, compelling companies to transform their workforce and enhance employee career health by deepening skillsets for long-term progression. A recent panel organised by OCBC brought together industry leaders, including Boon Ping Lau, Deputy Chief Executive of WSG to discuss how these changes are reshaping our world and career paths. As we stand on the brink of a green revolution, here are three profound insights that emerged: ✅ Preparing for a Green Economy: The rise of sustainable finance in Singapore is transforming the Financial Services sector, driving shifts in job roles and functions. Building expertise in sustainable finance will enable the sector to seize new opportunities and support Singapore’s transition to net zero. ✅ New Career Opportunities: As industries undergo green transitions, skills such as Sustainability Risk Management and Taxonomy Application will be increasingly valued. Embracing career development and acquiring new competencies will enhance personal resilience and add value to organisations. ✅ Available Support: The Sustainable Finance Jobs Transformation Map (JTM) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), IBFSG - The Institute of Banking & Finance Singapore and WSG serves as a useful guide for organisations to build necessary capabilities and competencies for their workforce. They can refer to the Technical Skills and Competencies listed in the JTM to identify skills which can provide employees with clear pathways for career advancement.
