Close to 350 fresh graduates have secured placements under the government-sponsored Graduate Industry Traineeships programme since its launch last October. The scheme aims to provide industry exposure and improve employability, with trainees hosted by more than 50 private sector firms and 60 public agencies. The government funds 70 per cent of the traineeship allowance, with stints lasting up to six months. Officials say the programme complements broader efforts to support graduates entering the workforce. Caitlin Ng reports.
