Singapore

LOCAL professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) looking to make a mid-career switch will now have a new avenue to do so, as job vacancies and active recruitment signal a healthy demand for PMETs in the wafer fabrication industry.

A new professional conversion programme for the industry, unveiled on Monday by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA), will provide training for mid-career PMETs who wish to retool their skills and serve as engineers or assistant engineers in wafer fabrication firms here.
