Hospitality school Shatec scaling down operations; cuts 42 staff

The layoffs come after the school closed its training restaurant, The Sapling in March and put its building at 21 Bukit Batok Street 22 on the market for around $18 million in May.

Shatec declined to respond to The Straits Times queries about the roles of staff who have been dismissed or the remaining strength of its workforce.

The Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union (FDAWU) said it has been working with Shatec to assist affected staff and secure fair compensation packages in line with its collective agreement with the school.

The union is also connecting workers to NTUC's Employment and Employability Institute for job-matching services, career coaching and skills upgrading advice.
