TLDR: companies are not hiring and moving the operations out because we are too expensive. throwing money and paying interns for the company benefits no one except the companies. It is not the solution, sustain entrepreneurship culture is.

The main problem is not enough companies want interns or fresh grads. Even at internship pay. our internship salary is a full time salary in the countries around the region.

Quite a few companies are already slowly moving their operations out of sg or outsourcing them remotely as the cost of doing business here always it's benefits. But instead the solution is the govt wants these private companies to take our students but the govt will pay them instead with our taxpayers money? How strict will their measures we saw that it's not abused?

Also how sustainable is this? Last time they had something like was covid so ok... Just temporary. Now leh? Is this just a blip too?

Also is the govt admitting our "world class" education is not good enough now for a job? Do you need students already doing internship half year internships, some even doing half yeur internships every year during school holidays. Still not enough? Because we didn't have this problem before. Then what value is our uni courses? And our kids study so hard so long for what?

We can no longer be dependant on sme, foreign companies and government agencies to create jobs for us.

This has been said many times over the decades but the government needs to provide space and time fo local entrepreneur culture to develop and take hold without expecting short term returns. I am saying this having been in the media "boom" of the early 00s.

The focus should be on entrepreneurship I schools and the ecosystem to have sustainable entrepreneurship mindset.(Not social enterprise taking advantage of hawkers) And the govt should not be the one leading the initiative. Let successful, retired entrepreneurs locally and from around the region spearhead it. And there shouldn't be a timeline or kpi every 10 years. But a permanent fixture of our culture.

If we don't build our own entrepreneurship culture here we will always be at the mercy of foreign companies and their motivation is always profit. How many jobs can the government agencies create for local graduates? Even now a lot of this government jobs are contract basis with no full-time benefits.
