As announced on 17 August 2020 Ministerial Statement, to support hiring in sectors that are doing well – such as the biomedical sciences, financial services, and ICT sectors – the Jobs Growth Incentive (JGI) was launched.
The JGI supports firms in hiring of local workers, with a special focus on mature workers.
- The Government will co-pay up to 25% of salaries of all new local hires for one year, subject to a cap.
- For those aged 40 and above, the co-payment to firms will be up to 50%.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and Workforce Singapore (WSG), in collaboration with the Public Service Division (PSD) and various government agencies, launched the SGUnited Jobs Initiative and SGUnited Traineeships Programme to create jobs.
This was part of the Resilience Budget to create more opportunities for jobseekers and workers affected by the COVID-19 situation, as well as match them to available jobs, including new ones created as a result of COVID-19. The initiative also aims to help businesses that are recruiting for the eventual recovery, as well as those with short-term manpower needs due to disruptions in labour supply.
Whether you are looking to tackle the ongoing economic challenges, attract and retain local manpower, or improve productivity and innovation, WSG has the following programmes to provide you with support and resources customised for your manpower needs.
