SINGAPORE: More than 1,000 jobs in the healthcare sector were
offered at a career fair held in the heartlands on Sunday morning.
The North East CDC said two in five positions were targeted at PMETs.
More than a thousand people turned up to see what seven healthcare companies had to offer.
These included the Singapore General Hospital, Changi General Hospital, National Healthcare Group Polyclinics, Alexandra Health, NTUC ElderCare, MOH Holdings, and Jurong Health Services, who will manage the new Jurong General Hospital.
The National Healthcare Group Polyclinics and MOH Holdings received 500 job applications each.
For some, the lack of experience in the industry did not worry them, as training would be provided.
Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said: "There are also training providers here who will help prepare them for jobs in the healthcare industry. These can be funded through SPUR programmes. The course fees and some training allowance."
Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parliamentary Secretary of Community Development, Youth and Sports, said: "Not all jobs are needing some specialisation, some are more general in nature. So I think for those who are job seekers, they can consider the health care sector - relatively recession-proof and at the same time, they don't pay too badly."
