Singapore to offer around 3,000 year-long internships amid AI concerns about entry-level jobs

The Straits Times reports that around 3,000 new year-long internships will be offered to tertiary students over three years. The IMDA-led programme, previously available to polytechnic and ITE students, is expanding to universities. Senior Minister of State Tan Kiat How said longer placements would give students time to work on substantial projects and develop professional judgment as AI assists with tasks traditionally done by junior workers.
