Three in four or 75.9% of Singaporean students expect more than $3,000 starting pay from their first job, according to a survey CareerBuilder. 23.8% of respondents were expecting more than $4,000 from their first job.

The respondents, composed of GCE ‘A’ Level and International Baccalaureate (IB) students and graduates, polytechnic students, and university undergraduates, kept ‘career growth and opportunities’ as the top attribute of their ideal job.

They also placed an increasing emphasis on ‘job security’ as a key criterion of their ideal job. The attribute rose from third in 2018 to second place in 2019, overtaking ‘interesting job scope’ (3rd place).

From e27:

Singapore-based shipping company Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), has partnered with early-stage investor and accelerator Techstars to launch the dedicated global maritime accelerator Eastern Pacific Accelerato.

The accelerator has selected nine startups for its first class. The class was chosen with consideration and input from EPS’ Operations, Marine Technical, Commercial, IT, Fleet Personnel, and management teams, all who would work closely with each startup to test their technologies and accelerate their businesses.

It also aims to bring digital, technology-led solutions to problems faced by the shipping and maritime industry. From November 2019, the nine startups will go through a three-month programme of research and development, mentorship, and collaboration at EPS headquarters in Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
