AI impact on entry-level PMET hiring still uncertain: MOM

The impact of AI on entry-level hiring in professional, managerial, executive, and technical jobs remains uncertain, according to Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Manpower Shawn Huang. Despite fluctuations, employment rates for fresh graduates have remained stable over the past decade, influenced by economic and geopolitical factors. Institutions of higher learning are adapting curricula to prepare graduates for the AI era, including initiatives like the AI Apprenticeship Programme. The government supports graduates through career matching and the Graduate Industry Traineeships (Grit) programme, which offers traineeships to help young graduates transition to permanent employment.
