Most Singaporeans take charge of their own career development: Hays

SINGAPORE (March 28): Rather than looking to their employers to provide training, a majority 77% of Singapore respondents are taking responsibility for developing their skills through self-learning and leveraging on-the-job experience, according to a recent poll by Hays.

Conversely, only 16% of Singapore respondents rely on their employers to provide training and development, while just 7% depend on formal courses to add to their skill sets.

The poll was conducted online at the professional recruiting group’s website between January and March 2017 to survey respondents across China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan and Singapore.
