The new scheme, announced last month, allows firms that have expansion plans to temporarily hire more rank-and-file foreign workers above the quota for their industry.
is designed with conditions that require participating firms to hire or train local workers, Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng said on Monday .
Mid-career professionals, managers, executives and technicians hired through other career schemes will also count towards this condition of hiring more locals, he said in response to a question on whether the M-SEP scheme can focus more on mid-career workers. On how authorities will ensure that the training and hiring commitments are adhered to, Dr Tan said: “Ultimately, these are firms that support our strategic economic priorities, and with which we work very closely with.
In response to a question about what the new scheme signals with regard to automation and reliance on foreign workers, the minister noted that the programmes that companies must participate in to qualify for the scheme are related “not just to growth, but also to help firms to become more productive at the same time, through innovation and internationalisation".
The ministries said at the time that about 1,000 firms – less than 1 per cent of all registered businesses in Singapore – meet this requirement.
