MinLaw, WSG offer traineeship opportunities for fresh law graduates

Trainees may also get hired by the host companies.

The Ministry of Law (MinLaw) and Workforce Singapore (WSG), in collaboration with the Law Society of Singapore (LawSoc), have announced that they will support Singapore law firms to tap on the SGUnited Traineeships Programme to provide and support opportunities within the law practices, a press release revealed.

The programme includes practice training contracts for law graduates and traineeship opportunities in other roles, such as paralegals, legal secretaries, and legal technologists.

Host organisations may also benefit by gaining access to a qualified pool of talent and can consider hiring well-performing trainees on a permanent basis after the traineeship period.

The SGUnited Traineeships Programme was first announced in the Resilience Budget and further expanded as part of the SGUnited Jobs & Skills Package in the Fortitude Budget, to support up to 21,000 recent and new graduates of the Institutes of Technical Education, polytechnics, universities and other educational institutions. Trainees will also receive a training allowance, of which the government will fund 80% whilst the host organisation funds the remaining 20%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
