'Foreign workers should get training too', says MP Yeo Guat Kwang

Foreign workers should get skills upgrading similar to what Singaporeans go through, suggested labour MP Yeo Guat Kwang.

 

Noting that this would 'create a level playing field' for all workers, he said training and certification for work permit and S Pass holders should be done within the first two years of their employment.

 

Successful certification should then be used as a condition for work pass renewal, he said.

 

Mr Yeo, speaking to The Straits Times in his capacity as chairman of the Migrant Workers Centre (MWC), said training could be done in two ways - either through in-house courses conducted by employers, or via the Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) programme.

Alamak, where else can you find a country like Singapore?

 

Help foreigners find work, and help unskilled foreigners to upgrade (most of whom will leave in 2-3 years), and at whose expense?

The MP suggested that "Foreign workers should get skills upgrading similar to what Singaporeans go through"???? [hur] Then after those FT obtained the skills and cert, they can move to somewhere else to work. S'pore really a good place, no wonder so many foreigners use sg as a steeping stone! [shakehead]
