文:陈嘉羚 来源 :958城市频道 发布:17/02/2021 07:34 更新: 17/02/2021 07:34 2019冠状病毒疫情当前，许多国人面临就业挑战，有的选择中途专业。 从事建筑领域相关工作15年的杨伟权去年九月决定转行，并加入“新心相连”配套下的技能提升计划，在新康学院接受培训，掌握物理治疗方面的新技能。 杨伟权说，政府推出的援助计划帮助他成功转业，不仅掌握了不同岗位的新知识，还有机会到疗养院等进行实践。 “目前，我正接受物理治疗助理岗位的培训课程，不过课程内容还能让我们学到其他工作岗位的知识，比如护理方面的技能。在接受培训之前，我想帮助患者，从床位移到椅子上，但我没有这方面的知识，接受培训之后我就更有信心。我的培训中，其他同学有四十多、五十多，近六十的人，他们都是抱着求职的心态，但在接受培训之后都认为我们这个年龄，在职业上还能做得更多。” 44岁的林慧琳原本从事销售行业，她在去年十月决定转行，加入海事领域。 “在去年的疫情期间我的朋友有鼓励我尝试转行。差距可以说是蛮大的，因为之前是建筑行业，现在这个行业很不同，不同的行业需要不同的知识、经验和人脉，从中我也学习了新的知识。我转业的时候不简单，公司给我提供了很多在职培训，我学习了数据分析等新技能，能更好帮助我为公司增值。” 副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰在国会发表2021财政年预算案声明时说，政府将再拨出54亿元，通过第二期的“新心相连”就业与技能配套，继续支持国人就业和培训。 Source: https://www.8world.com/singapore/budget2021-skills-1394891 Source: https://www.8world.com/singapore/budget2021-skills-1394891
