转业计划助PMET投身新领域 惟有雇主迂回法规“内定”外籍人才

人力部长杨莉明,在昨日(16日)出席该部门一项工作研讨会上强调,促进劳动群体的职业流动,仍是应变与提升计划(Adopt and growth )的主要动力。

他形容,大部分人都期许有学习、成长机会,职业流动/升迁的需求,相当于人们对社会阶层流动向上的渴望。

他表示政府将继续同劳资政协作伙伴紧密合作,确保所有国人能全心投入发展自己的事业,包括较年长、现有工作受科技冲击以及工作性质长期以来一成不变的员工。

去年有3万多名求职者在人力部的应变与提升计划下投入新的工作岗位,当中有四成人士仍在新岗位上工作。

她承诺该部接下来会着重于提供这群工作者,诸如职业辅导、联系网络和针对性培训等,更多开拓新机遇的资源。

同时,她提及专业人士转业计划(PCP)如何继续协助专业人士高管和技术(PMET)群体,适应新工作和新成长的领域。

她以60岁的商务顾问自由业者陈金有(译音)为例,在去年成功转入电讯科技领域,也证明并非只有年轻人才能拥抱科技行业。

“只要有学习新技能的机会、本身也愿意去适应,我们的雇员们获得更好工作和薪资有更好前景。”

转业计划并非适用所有人

不过,新加坡失业雇员援助网站Transitioning.org创办人吴家和,曾提到许多失业PMET对转业计划的成效不甚乐观。

吴家和曾见过许多失业PMET,特别是较年长的,被迫“大屋转小屋”,降低生活素质,甚至因为财务问题面对婚姻危机。

其中一名名为菲力的失业者,上了所有未来技能规划局的课程,虽然课程值得赞许,但并未真正帮他提高就业率。至于专业人士转业计划,仍有参与者在培训后仍未能找到合适工作。

吴家和承认,转业计划确实帮助到部分人士顺利转换工作,而且转业者也要灵活适应全新的工作环境,有时可能面对比过去较低的薪酬。不过,转业计划并非就适用于所有人身上。

他认为,政府比较倾向修补和提升课程,或者为为年长失业PMET给予就业辅导,但是却未能解决,诸如年龄其实和引进国外人才导致就业市场竞争等结构性问题。

招聘外籍人才“上有政策,下有对策”

人力部在管控就业市场方面并非万无一失。若去看看一些在新加坡工作的外派人员论坛,一些外籍雇员也揭露他们的雇主,如何规避人力部的规定,甚至已经内定好要录用外籍雇员。

据了解,一些公司也直接从海外聘请人才。跳过了法定要在国家求职库(Jobs Bank)刊登至少两周招聘广告的要求。

人力部在2014年,在公平考量框架下架设职业库,乃是为了强制企业在聘请外籍人士前,优先从本地人中物色人选。

但“上有政策,下有对策”,一些企业可以一边在职业库刊载广告,但是聘请的海外人选早已“内定”。

其中一名外派人员,就在一则誌期2018年10月17日的贴文,提到自己被一家公司录取,但是有关公司在申请就业准证(EP)方面遇到阻碍,人力部认为他们的“外籍和本地雇员比例不佳”。

结果,有关公司聘请一家代理,来代为聘用这名外派人员。有关代理公司同样须在职业库张贴14天广告,之后才能让外籍人士申请。
