NTUC ramping up early career support for graduating youths amid AI shifts: Ng Chee Meng
The Singaporean labour movement NTUC is expanding its scholarship program and career support for graduating students to address workforce shifts caused by AI. The initiative aims to help youth build skills and professional networks before entering the job market.
Why it matters
As AI disrupts traditional job roles, proactive government and union-led support is becoming essential for maintaining youth employability and economic stability.
The labour movement's youth wing will increase the intake for its bond-free NTUC Starter Awards scholarships to 150 this year.
