Training and re-training ( SPUR & CET )

[tom]

SPUR stands for Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience
CET stands for Continue Education Training

In todays economic downturn, it is always best to be prepared. It is estimated that more retrenchments may occur in the first three months of 2009. It may only be a prediction but dates are drawing near. Lets hope it's not true. Anyway it's still better to be prepared. 

For retirees, people can discover a totally new life if they are engaged on a socially, productive work in their later years, instead of drifting aimlessly for the next 20 or 30 years.  Experts predicted Singaporeans can live up to 80 years on the average.

So be prepared :

The 15,000 jobless professionals with Polytechnic and University education does'nt seem to fit into any of the above organisations who are helping out to train and re-train jobless into the workforce.

Is there any Govt. Dept. who are catering for them ? Lets wait and see.
