PRODDED by desperate times, 800 jobseekers flocked to the South West CDC Internship Fair on Friday, eager to land stints in industries which have been shunned by many Singaporeans.
The Internship Programme is the first of its kind and allows successful applicants to try out jobs in real working environments for three to five days, before deciding to commit to them.
During the internship, employers will provide on-the-go training. Employees will get a chance to wait on customers, pitch sales, or even learn a thing or two about installing air-conditioners. For their efforts, job seekers will receive an allowance of $4 an hour from the South West CDC.
