新加坡政府注資提升旅遊業人才技能
徐錦莉（官委議員）向貿工部長提問：
（a）從2022年至2023年，每年通過旅遊業發展基金（TDF）培訓的員工數量及職業分布；
（b）這一時期通過旅遊業發展基金培訓的員工在旅遊業不同領域填補的空缺數量及比例；
（c）預期創造的職位數量及性質。以及最近宣布的基金增補後培訓機會的增加情況。
顏金勇（貿工部長）：自2020年以來，通過旅遊業發展基金下的旅遊業專業人員培訓（TIP-iT）基金，共支持了900多名員工的培訓。這些員工來自酒店、會展、景點、旅行社和郵輪等行業，並在可持續發展、活動管理和服務提供等領域接受了培訓。所有旅遊公司僱傭的本地員工都有資格獲得旅遊業專業人員培訓的培訓支持。
新加坡旅遊局將繼續鼓勵公司優先進行員工培訓，加快運營以跟上旅遊復甦步伐。最近旅遊業發展基金將為旅遊公司提供更多機會，支持員工在領導力發展、技術、可持續性和夥伴關係建設等領域進行培訓；支持旅遊業培訓的其他舉措還包括由新加坡勞動力發展局（WSG）資助的新聘員工和再培訓現有員工的職業轉換計劃，以及由新加坡精深技能發展局（SSG）提供的經批准課程的資助。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Ms See Jinli Jean asked the Minister for Trade and Industry for each year from 2022 to 2023 (a) what is the number and occupation breakdown of workers trained via the Tourism Development Fund (TDF); (b) what is (i) the number and (ii) proportion of vacancies filled by workers trained under TDF with a breakdown by tourism domains; and (c) what is the projected (i) number and nature of jobs created and (ii) increase in training availability with the recently announced top-up to the Fund.
Mr Gan Kim Yong: Since 2020, the Training Industry Professionals in Tourism (TIP-iT) fund under the Tourism Development Fund (TDF) has supported the training of over 900 workers in total. These workers were from the Hotels, MICE, Attractions, Travel Agencies and Cruise sectors; and received training in areas, such as sustainability, events management and service delivery. All locals employed by tourism companies are eligible for training support under TIP-iT.
The Singapore Tourism Board will continue to encourage companies to prioritise employee training even as they ramp up operations to keep pace with tourism recovery. The recent TDF top-up will provide more opportunities for tourism firms to support employees for training in areas, such as leadership development, technology, sustainability and partnership building. Other initiatives that support training for the tourism sectors include the Career Conversion Programmes funded by Workforce Singapore (WSG) that train new hires and reskill existing workers, as well as funding support provided by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) for approved courses.
