To ask the Minister for Manpower (a) what percentage of the 56,000 job seekers placed by Workforce Singapore (WSG) in 2024 secured employment through direct job-matching efforts facilitated by WSG and its partners, as opposed to finding their jobs independently; (b) what proportion of job seekers assisted by WSG or its partners secure employment within six months of receiving career-matching services; and (c) what specific key performance indicators does WSG use to evaluate the effectiveness of career coaches in helping job seekers secure job placements.

The 56,000 jobseekers secured employment after benefitting from Workforce Singapore (WSG)’s programmes and services in 2024. WSG and/or its partners as well as the jobseekers’ own efforts contributed to the successful outcome of securing employment.

2. Among jobseekers who received career matching services from WSG and its partners in 2023, about six in ten secured employment within six months. This is a key performance indicator used by WSG to evaluate the effectiveness of its career matching services in helping jobseekers to secure jobs.
