Singapore’s government is to launch two new statutory boards to promote skills and employment.

According to Singaporean paper The Straits Times, the boards have been tentatively named SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) and Workforce Singapore (WSG).

SSG targets skills development and comes under the Ministry of Education (MOE), while WSG, under the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), will focus on jobs and enterprises.

The paper adds the ministries expect the boards to be established by the end of this year as the reorganisation will require changes to existing laws and must be approved in parliament.
