Workforce Singapore (WSG) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Manpower of the Government of Singapore. It was originally founded in 2003 as the Workforce Development Agency (WDA). In 2016, the WDA was renamed the Workforce Singapore Agency, and some of its functions were transferred to the new SkillsFuture Singapore Agency.[4]
During the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when many Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents lost their jobs due to the closure of businesses, Workforce Singapore played a vital part in career-coaching the people of Singapore into transitioning into essential industries. For example, it helped by organising resume-crafting services both over the phone and in person with unemployed job-seekers, and it had a website that consolidated career resources, training programmes, as well as job openings.[5]
