ITS first go-around was a big success.
Now, the National Trades Union Congress' (NTUC) Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) and the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) are ready to team up with Marina Bay Sands again for another recruitment drive.
This time, it will be even bigger: e2i is looking to help fill 4,500 gaming positions at the integrated resort (IR).
It will invite applications from Singaporeans age 21 and above, screen them, and give them some rudimentary training if needed to increase their chances of landing a job.
Some of these jobs are plum ones: About 1,500 will be of a managerial or supervisory nature.
Other positions open include croupiers, scheduling supervisors and table games technicians.
The job-matching and training services provided by e2i are a key plank of the Spur programme, a $600 million training and skills upgrading scheme paid for by the Singapore Government.
e2i's first partnership with Marina Bay Sands, in October last year, paid handsome dividends.
It screened over 7,000 applicants, and dropped more than 3,000 in the first cut.
Those who were found suitable but who lacked skills were sent for pre-employment employability training, which included workshops and other programmes to impart knowledge of the industry, develop service and interview skills, as well as to instil the right mindset and attitude.
