The recruitment of right talent is a critical success factor in a highly competitive business environment..  This is especially true for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore.  SMEs can offer many interesting and challenging career opportunities for Professionals, Managers , Executives and Technicians (PMETs), a fact that is often not known to some job seekers.

P-Max @ SMF is a place-and-train programme administered by Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF) and supported by Workforce Singapore (WSG), to assist SMEs to better recruit, train, manage and retain their newly-hired PMETs.
