SINGAPORE: The extensive recruitment exercise for the 3,000 job vacancies in the ION Orchard shopping mall has kicked off with a search to immediately fill up to 1,500 positions in the initial recruitment phase on Wednesday.
About 20 per cent of the 1,500 positions are suitable for professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETS) and fresh graduates.
Of the 1,500 vacancies, some 70 per cent will be for retail positions and 30 per cent will be in the food and beverage sector.
The recruitment is done in partnership with the NTUC's Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) and the Workforce Development Agency (WDA). E2i's role is to reach out to the public and invite interested jobseekers to attend the job fairs.
At the fair, the e2i employability coaches will identify suitable jobseekers who possess the right aptitude for the jobs, and enroll them for suitable training to acquire relevant skills.
The tripartite collaboration also extends to efforts to enhance local workers' customer service skills and to boost the overall image and professionalism of Singapore's service industry.
The partners will be providing successful candidates with the certified service professional training developed by WDA.
The training programme will cover service quality, etiquette, grooming and interpersonal skills to further enhance the candidates' service competency prior to their employment by ION Orchard. The training programme is recommended for all successful candidates hired through the recruitment initiative.
As at 6pm on Tuesday, some 3,000 job seekers have registered via sms, e2i's website and hotline.
Jobseekers who are looking for a career at ION Orchard may continue to register online or call the e2i hotline at 6474 3777. Registration closes at 6.00pm on Thursday.
