Firms looking to redesign jobs can get up to 70 per cent funding support, while an up to 90 per cent wage subsidy scheme is in place for employers reskilling workers for new roles.
SINGAPORE: Four in 10 jobs in the food services sector here are at risk of becoming obsolete in the next three years, according to a manpower roadmap.
A Japanese machine distributed by culinary equipment distributor TY Innovations, for instance, can cook a plate of bolognese pasta in just 45 seconds.No human intervention is needed until the last step of plating the food. “I believe more time and energy can go into upskilling workers into handling other areas, bringing more to customer service or maybe HR management or inventory planning.”Robots are also taking over the roles of some service personnel.
Industry players said the jobs transformation is already taking place, and both employers and employees in the food and beverage sector must embrace the changes or be left behind. “For the workers, it is more critical now than ever to adapt to the speed of changes, and to keep on improving their skills and knowledge,” said Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling.
Another key trend shift she highlighted is a greater adoption of technology for digital solutions and automation equipment since the COVID-19 pandemic.
