Job seekers in Singapore's north-west looking to work near their home can now find opportunities more easily, with the launch of a new online portal that curates jobs in the North West District.
The district comprises Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, Nee Soon GRC, Sembawang GRC and Bukit Panjang SMC.
The Jobs Anywhere @ North West portal - by NTUC's Employment and Employability Institute, and FindSGJobs - currently has about 10,000 job vacancies. Jobs on offer include those with heartland merchants, such as hairdressers, and at hawker stalls, for stall assistants.
The portal was launched on Aug 2 at the SkillsFuture Festival @ North West at Causeway Point in Woodlands.
Mr Alex Yam, Mayor of North West District, said the jobs portal was developed in response to feedback from residents over the years.
"We understand that many residents face challenges finding flexible and part-time work opportunities near home, due to caregiving duties or other circumstances," said Mr Yam, who is also an MP for Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC.
He hopes the portal will help such residents find suitable jobs with heartland merchants.
