Singapore is looking to ‘redesign’ jobs in the maritime sector to better attract and retain local workers, a top government official has said.
The initiative is part of a plan to create 1,000 ‘good jobs’ for Singaporeans in the sector by 2025, according to senior minister of state for transport Chee Hong Tat.
He said the Maritime and Port Authority has been working with the Singapore Maritime Foundation to initiate trials for suitable job roles in the sector such as technical superintendents.
