Singapore: FastJobs preps to launch training courses for job seekers

FastJobs is preparing to open up training courses to the public, and soon job seekers may be able to sign up and increase their chances of employment.

The plan is to launch a learning marketplace in the first half of next year to help non-executive workers pick up skills for Singapore's digital economy, FastJobs said recently in a joint statement with the Strategic Association of Professional Training-Consulting Organisations (SAPTCO).

The job portal will list training opportunities offered by the association's members, especially for those in service and operations-related roles.

These could include soft skills for delivering better customer experiences, or industry-specific skills.

The training courses the users sign up for on the platform would be reflected on their profiles, so that when they apply for jobs, their profiles can be preferentially highlighted to employers for relevant jobs, said FastJobs Singapore General Manager Lim Huishan.
