4 in 10 food industry jobs to be redesigned under road map

Moderate to extensive changes will be needed to increase the scope and responsibilities of roles, in response to a shortage of workers and technology advancements.

Jobs identified for redesign include service crew and kitchen assistant roles, as well as executive chef, operations director and multi-outlet manager.

These developments come under a Jobs Transformation Map (JTM) for the food services sector that was announced by Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling on Thursday at Restaurant Asia 2023, a three-day food and beverage (F&B) symposium and trade show at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre.

Jointly developed by Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), Workforce Singapore, SkillsFuture Singapore and the Manpower Ministry with professional services firm Ernst & Young, the road map recommends strategies for employers and workers to enhance their competitiveness and capabilities.
