Security agencies hired about 26,000 officers, up from 14,000 four years ago. Currently, there is a demand for security personnel for new buildings and also more women officers to carry out checks on female passengers and students. Hence, some firms offer shorter shifts and locations that work near to home.
Previously seen as offering low-paying jobs, the security sector has been transformed into one where better skills and professionalism are required. This will attract more Singaporeans back to the workforce and create wider opportunities for lower-skilled workers.

Singapore is expecting high growth rates in the patient-care industry. Firms that specialise in medical technology contributed $2.6 billion to the economy and created 7,300 new jobs last year and the figures are likely to rise in the future.
The Government will spend $70 million to boost infocomm manpower and also sharpen Singapore’s technology edge by retaining top talent. Part of the funds will be used to develop “techno-strategists” with specialist infocomm skills to serve the health-care, finance and banking sectors.
Those who intend to do a career switch, should consider these industries. The future looks bright.
