As a Job Re-creator with the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) — a federation of 63 trade unions in the industrial, service and public sectors in Singapore — Ms Lee is someone who “champions re-creation in the various industries or sectors. We work closely with our industry partners and stakeholders to identify areas and develop strategies to enhance the job worth and pay potential of workers,” she says.
These strategies go beyond re-branding and re-imaging.
A Job Re-creator develops training courses meant to improve skills and increase productivity in the workplace. The main objectives are to help workers enhance their employability and show them how they can secure better jobs and pay.
He or she also helps not just those who already have jobs. Even the unemployed sector
— housewives and retirees — can benefit. “If they don’t fit in well with a particular job, we’ll add value by giving them training. For this reason, it’s important for us to be aware of their skills and training development needs,” says Ms Lee. |
