    More than 500 youths placed in Earn and Learn Programmes

    Assoc Prof Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Education, revealed that in 2016, more than  500 polytechnic and ITE graduates were placed in Earn and Learn programmes. This was higher than the target of 400 students.

    A/P Faishal said this in Parliament on 28 Feb 2017, in response to a question from MP Ms Sun Xueling. His full response follows:

    1. The SkillsFuture Earn and Learn Programme (ELP) was launched as a work-learn initiative to support fresh polytechnic and ITE graduates in their transition to the workplace and into sectors which they have been trained for.
    1. In 2016, over 500 polytechnic and ITE graduates were placed with companies across various ELPs. This is more than the 400 placements targeted for 2016. We have received positive feedback from both employers and trainees who have participated in the ELP.
    1. There are currently 40 ELPs across 23 sectors including those where the Industry Transformation Maps (ITMs) are being developed. The most popular ELPs are in sectors such as Hotel, ICT and Logistics, where ITMs are developed.
    1. MOE will continue to work with the respective sector agencies to introduce more work-learn programmes to support training and lifelong learning.
