Debated in Parliament on 8 Apr 2026.
Mr Liang Eng Hwa asked the Minister for Manpower (a) how many job assistance requests have the Government-supported job agencies, such as e2i and WSG, received from Singaporean fresh graduates from both local and overseas universities in the 2025; and (b) how many were successfully placed with a job.
In 2025, Workforce Singapore (WSG) and the Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) received close to 2,000 job assistance requests from unemployed Singaporeans who had recently graduated from universities. Separately, close to 1,500 recent university graduates assisted by WSG or e2i found jobs in 2025. This includes graduates who had sought assistance in earlier years, as there is typically a time lag between seeking assistance and securing a job. We do not track whether these assisted graduates were from local or overseas universities.
