has devised a new plan to help companies find the right people for their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name of this thing is the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s giving bonus points for some skills and companies; we&#8217;ll explain them in simple terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is COMPASS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>COMPASS is a new way for Singapore to decide who can get an Employment Pass (EP) to work there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It looks at the person and the company to see if they fit well with Singapore&#8217;s workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It starts for new applications on 1 September 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus Criteria: Skills Bonus and Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>COMPASS has two bonus criteria: the Skills Bonus (Criterion 5) and the Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus (Criterion 6). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone with unique skills that Singapore needs can get bonus points on their COMPASS score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if a company is important to Singapore&#8217;s economy, it can get bonus points too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skills Bonus: Helping Companies Find the Right Talent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore needs people with special skills to grow its economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government is helping locals learn these skills, but sometimes, they still need people from other countries to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s where the Skills Bonus comes in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone has a job on the Shortage Occupation List (SOL), they can get up to 20 bonus points on COMPASS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SOL is reviewed every three years but can change more often if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus: Recognising Important Companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some companies are really important for Singapore&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They create good jobs and help the country grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus is for these companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can get 10 bonus points on COMPASS for each EP application they send in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get this bonus, companies need to be part of special programs run by the government or the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actionable and Practical Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Learn more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mom.gov.sg\/compass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">COMPASS<\/a> and how it affects your company or job application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check if your occupation is on the Shortage Occupation List (SOL)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find out if your company qualifies for the Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, COMPASS is a new way for Singapore to make sure they get the right people for the right jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With bonus criteria like the Skills Bonus and the Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus, they can help companies find the talent they need and <a
