Subsidies to hire grads
$15m set aside to help recession-hit financial firms build up talent
By Goh Eng Yeow

THE Government will encourage banks and other financial institutions hit by the recession to take on new graduates by offering to subsidise the recruits' allowances for up to a year.
Banks and brokerages have been approached by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to participate in the scheme, part of a wider programme to boost internships and attachment opportunities over the next one to two years.


The MAS said yesterday that $15 million has been earmarked for the initiative.

Comment
BANKS CHEER MOVE

'It will help companies to build up their talent pool and better position themselves when the economy picks up in the long run.'





If so, it may only help in the banking and finance sector...

Ah!!!! I so don't want to go to work!!!
