The Multi-Skilling Scheme
In an effort to build up a pool of workers who are competent in multiple skill sets to carry out more than one type of tasks on site, Ministry of Manpower has implemented the Multi-Skilling Scheme so as to be able to provide an alternative pathway for the industry to upgrade their experienced workers from Basic Skilled R2 to Higher Skilled R1 workers.
Cost Savings For The Employer
Employers who qualify for this scheme can save up to $300 per month, per worker in foreign work levies.
That equates to $3600 per year and a substantial $7200 per 2 years of work permit for each worker for your company.
For a company with a workforce that numbers into the hundreds if not thousands, this is certainly a huge amount in savings.
