PWM-Cleaning: Horizontal Surface Maintenance (Level 1)

To Be Advised

About This Course

This course is only for the low wage workers in the PWM-Cleaning Sector.

Assure Safety Pte Ltd intends to offer training to both commercial and residential cleaners.

To deliver quality cleaning outcomes to service buyers, cleaning industries are committed to deepen the technical skillset of the cleaners.

There has been an increase in the demand for cleaning services.

The Tripartite Cluster for Cleaners (TCC) laid out new wage levels and skills requirements for cleaning sector workers in order to recruit a younger workforce, with greater income increments scheduled for the next six years under the Progressive Wage Model(PWM).

Progressive Wage Model (PWM) will be expanded to cover almost 218,000 workers.

According to Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad said the PWM is currently mandatory in the outsourced sectors of cleaning.

As demand for environmental services grows, the sector has to ensure it has the skilled manpower and resources to meet this demand.

It’s all a part of learning new skills and it’s also a win-win situation for cleaner and their employer.

Cleaner gains from their progressive training policies and the company earned recognition.
