尚达曼：未来一年面对艰巨挑战 放眼未来一年创造10万就业与培训机会
国务资政兼社会政策统筹部长尚达曼坦言，未来半年至一年的时间，我们面对的重大和迫切的挑战，即使阻断措施后逐步放宽，仍有许多人可能因疫情失去工作。
全球经济前景暗淡，一些行业仍会招聘人员，而政府将尽力协助他们，但没人敢说冠病19疫情会持续多久，尚达曼称，恐怕明年的职缺将少得多。
尚达曼是在个人脸书发文表示，他领导的全国就业理事会，放眼未来一年，透过副总理王瑞杰公布的新心相连就业与技能配套（SGUnited Jobs and Skills Package），为求职者创造10万个就业和培训机会。
“要实现这一目标将是一项挑战，但我们可以通过劳资政的紧密协作，超越既定方法来取得成功。我们将竭尽所能在公共和私企创造这些机会。”
他表示理事会也特别关注本地中年和年长工友，大家都必须改变思维应对新局势，例如雇主不应认为年长工友“太老、资历过高、适应能力不足”而拒绝雇用。
“政府为雇主提供了有力支持，每个雇主都必须成为团队的一员，以应对就业挑战。”
