NTUC launches $2.5m fund to support migrant worker upskilling

The fund will also help migrant workers with their living expenses.

The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) has launched a $2.5m fund to support the upskilling and welfare of migrant workers.

NTUC-affiliate, Migrant Workers' Centre (MWC), will use the fund to enable migrant workers to organise recreation centre activities and provide gift bags to help offset their living expenses, to be distributed in MWC’s recreation centres, onboarding centres, and events.

MWC will allow migrant workers to organise subsidised activities in four recreation centres operated by MWC and NTUC Club. These activities include sports activities and training workshops.

MWC will also allocate a portion of the fund to subsidise courses for up to 1,500 MWC ambassadors over 18 months from 1 July. There are currently 6,600 ambassadors in the organisation.

The NTUC LearningHub will help MWC to provide relevant courses such as Technology Application in Workplace Safety & Health, Operating Forklift, and Supervise Construction Work for Workplace Safety & Health.

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.
