Gov't to roll out support scheme for retrenched workers late 2024

The government is finalising the details of the scheme.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will unveil a new support scheme for involuntarily unemployed job seekers in late 2024.

“The pace of change in the economy is accelerating, and we know that more workers will likely be thrown curveballs,” said Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng in his May Day speech.

“We have heard and heeded the call to further support our workers who find themselves displaced through no fault of their own,” Tan said.

In the Budget speech, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong stated that the government is finalising the details of a financial support scheme to aid retrenched workers as they seek new employment or undergo training.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
