Supporting Accounting Professionals: ISCA's New Career Support Programme
Addressing a Critical Need in the Accounting Sector
The evolving economic landscape has presented unique challenges for many professionals, particularly those in established fields like accounting. In the Pasir Ris-Changi constituency, a noticeable number of experienced accounting professionals, including members of the Merdeka Generation, have faced job displacement due to corporate restructuring. While government agencies like WSG and e2i offer broad job assistance, a specific platform tailored for accounting professionals to connect, identify new opportunities, and access specialized upskilling and reskilling has been notably absent. This gap became evident as the business environment continues to rapidly transform, requiring accountants to adapt beyond foundational skills.
ISCA's Proactive Response to Industry Changes
Recognizing this critical need, the issue was brought to the attention of Mr. Teo Ser Luck, President of the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA). Mr. Teo Ser Luck, demonstrating great empathy and understanding for the challenges faced by the profession, promptly agreed to develop a targeted scheme. As a direct result of this collaboration and ISCA's commitment to its members, the new Career Support Programme for accounting professionals has been officially launched.
Beyond Job Placement: Future-Proofing Accounting Careers
The programme is designed to go beyond mere job placement. Its core mission is to empower accounting professionals with future-ready skills and the confidence needed to successfully navigate career transitions in an era of economic disruption. This comprehensive initiative extends its support not only to those who have been displaced or are seeking new employment but also to young accountants embarking on their careers, ensuring a robust pipeline of skilled professionals for the future.
This initiative underscores ISCA's profound commitment to supporting and caring for its members and the broader accounting profession, reflecting a dedication to fostering resilience and growth.
