Companies get help to build Global Ready Talent

Singapore

IN order to maintain its competitive edge, Singapore needs talent with the right expertise and networks to help local enterprises reach more overseas markets, said Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing on Thursday.

One way to build up this talent pool is by exposing young people to overseas work opportunities, which is the goal of Enterprise Singapore's new Global Ready Talent (GRT) programme. It aims to build a pipeline of talent that supports the global aspirations of Singapore companies by co-funding the overseas stints they offer and linking up students and young people with these opportunities.
