    THE Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) has partnered mobile network operators (MNOs) in Singapore to hire and reskill 1,000 professionals to support the Republic's 5G rollout.

    Of these, 30 per cent are new roles, while the rest are telecom professionals who will be upskilled in the areas of 5G networks, cybersecurity and solution engineering to future-proof their jobs, IMDA said on Tuesday. It added that demand for 5G professionals is expected to grow as Singapore's 5G rollout gathers momentum and more enterprises participate in the ecosystem.
