ABOUT 15,000 government-funded traineeship and company attachment opportunities are expected to come on stream in the coming months, but interest in such programmes may be ebbing as the labour market moves towards a gradual recovery.

"As the unemployment situation has eased and pockets of tightness have started to appear in the labour market, we notice that in terms of the applications, there is a moderated pace," Minister of Manpower Josephine Teo told reporters after a visit to Prudential on Monday.
