the IR sands at marinabay is really a total new concept in SG.
It is a real big project. In year 2006, press releases and authorities are working very fast to get everything started.
As the years tick by, and the days fly by, whenever I drive past ECP, the works for the IR seems to be always at the same stage. ie. dozens and dozens of cranes and flat ground. it seems that progress has either decreased exponentially or even halted for some period of time?
Pardon me if I am incorrect about this, as I am not in any form of management or construction company or vendor that deals with the IR sands.
But, my concern will be if the IR can really open its doors in 2009?
Past reports and press releases has said of mass recruitment for big groups of ground level/front line staff for the hotels, resorts, team parks, casino, which encompasses a range of job offers from hotel service staff all the way to a casino job.
Surely there's a great need for lots of staff. 70% are to be singaporeans.
Has there really been an actual mass recruitment drive going on for the IR sands?
I may have missed it or not noticed, does the majority of jobs offer has already been posted out and taken by all of us Singaporeans?
or are we all still Waiting for that time (the mass employment) to come in?
Hope those reading who has more information on employment and Whether the IR is really able to offer the jobs as promised and open its doors in 2009 as promised??
thanks for sharing :)
for a better employment future for all of us
A better question would be....
* Is Choosy S'porean Willing To Work Shift In The Service Sector
The IR could promise all Jobs will go to S'poreans..... but will S'poreans wants to do -
1) Shift Work - IR is open 24hr a days, 7 days a week, Public holidays or no public holidays.....
2) Service Sector - Where workers are expected to 'SMILE' even when kena 'F' by customer.....
they need time to recruit more FT to be singaporean what.... dun worry lah.. can open one.... and 70% of the job will be given to singaporean lah.. dun worry on that too..![]()
Guys guys, there are two casino college named AGMI International Pte Ltd and International Club Games Training Center here in singapore, but I was told by my poker pals that currently the available manpower counts only 3000 people roughly. 70% they needed are 30000 staffs, which currently just 10%. While the rest of the 30% are FT like PIT BOSS, Floor manager etc are recruited from casinos from all over the world and they are in the management level.

Just in case if you guys got confused, the 3000 counts are refering to the students of AGMI and ICGTC.
I also heard that SHATEC and CISCO also on recruitment drive for the IR SAND.

hi ,lonerjays, is the 30000 jobs u mentioned belong to the casino alone ?i am not sure about it as well, but 30000 jobs for casino alone seems to be rather high number
could it be 30000 means for the whole IR uncluding resorts and theme park and all service crew? thanks
I beg that it opens on time or earlier , as earlier as possible.
I WANT TO SEE THE EFFECT ON OUR LOVELY SOCIETY AND THE CHEMISTRY OF HUMANITY.
I cannot wait.
The reason why you dont see the progress is because construction is actually going downwards at the moment (ie. basement, carparks etc) which is always more time consuming. Once that is completed, things will look alot faster from the top.
