Show model answer
Suggestion 1 – Provide Financial Assistance
One suggestion is for community organisations to provide financial assistance to lower-income workers who want to attend skills training courses. For example, community organisations can offer subsidies or sponsorships to help workers pay for course fees, transport and learning materials. As a result, lower-income workers will face fewer financial difficulties when attending training courses. This will encourage more workers to upgrade their skills and improve their chances of finding better-paying jobs.
Suggestion 2 – Organise Flexible Skills Training Programmes
Another suggestion is for community organisations to organise skills training programmes with flexible schedules that suit working adults. For example, they can work with training providers to offer evening, weekend or online courses for lower-income workers who are unable to attend lessons during working hours. As a result, these workers can continue earning an income while attending training courses. This will make skills training more accessible and encourage more lower-income workers to develop new skills and improve their employment opportunities.
