Pursuing Entrepreneurship or Self-employment as Potential Pathways alongside Re-employment
Assoc Prof Kenneth Goh asked the Acting Minister for Manpower (a) whether career transition programmes for Singaporeans in their 40s and 50s systematically assess entrepreneurship or self-employment as potential pathways alongside re-employment; (b) whether outcomes for participants pursuing these pathways are tracked; and (c) if not, whether the Ministry will consider doing so.
Ms Jasmin Lau: Career transition programmes are designed to support mid-career Singaporeans to reskill and transition into growth jobs with good longer-term prospects. These include employer-supported reskilling under career conversion programmes, industry attachments under the Mid-Career Pathways Programme for individuals 40 and above, and training under the SkillsFuture Career Transition Programme.
As these programmes are not structured to lead towards entrepreneurship or self-employment, we do not track the outcomes of these alternative career pathways in relation to career transition programmes.
While career transition programmes are structured around employment in growth sectors, career coaches working with mid-career individuals can refer them to Enterprise Singapore's suite of support programmes if they express an interest in self-employment. These programmes provide mentorship, networking and funding support for aspiring entrepreneurs.
