THE SGUnited Traineeships Programme, which supports training stints of up to 6 months for fresh graduates, will end after its final intake of 2021 graduates in March this year.
The programme was introduced when the labour market was weak, and now that the economy is recovering, fewer graduates are participating in the scheme, said Senior Minister of State for Manpower Koh Poh Koon in Parliament on Friday (Mar 4) during his ministry's Committee of Supply.
