Career Transition Programme Take-up Rate by Full-time Platform Workers Aged 35 and Below

40 Ms See Jinli Jean asked the Minister for Manpower (a) for the past three years, what is the take-up rate of career transition programmes among workers aged 35 and below who are transitioning to other careers from working full-time as platform workers, such as taxi drivers, private-hire car drivers and delivery workers; (b) of which, how many have successfully transited; and (c) what are the reasons for those whose transitions are unsuccessful.

Dr Tan See Leng: The Government offers various programmes that support individuals to switch to new jobs, including Workforce Singapore’s Career Conversion Programmes and Career Trial and SkillsFuture Singapore’s SkillsFuture Career Transition Programme. We do not track whether participants in these programmes were full-time platform workers.
