副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰今日(5日)在国会发表部长说明,指政府将持续为弱势员工改善就业前景,并宣布将由贸工部兼文化、社区及青年部政务部长刘燕玲负责探讨帮助弱势群体。 王瑞杰表示,将协助失业年长的专业人士寻找工作,同时将通过微型工作的形式,把就业带入各个邻里。 他举例,有些工友可能无法到达太远的地点上班,与此同时,邻里商店也面临无人应聘的挑战,若将这些就业机会集合在潜在的接触点,例如社会服务中心、民众联络所、劳动力发展局MyCareersFuture网站,以及“新心相连”就业与技能中心,当局便能为他们进行职业配对。 另一方面,王瑞杰指出,今年5月在坚毅向前预算案宣布后取得了很好的进展,但全国就业理事会仍需努力。 他表示,全国就业理事会与不同企业一同探讨,如何提供培训和实习机会,未来也会将其转为工作机会,但眼下的关键是确保工人知道,以及成功地配对。 他说, “全国就业理事会正在和企业紧密合作聘用中途转业者,并将受到冠病疫情打击的航空业及旅游业员工,重新部署到医疗保健以及幼儿培育这些急需人手、员工技能也得到重视的领域。”
