seriously quite imba... they are damn serious about encouraging mid-career upskilling and training.

they are serious? i think they foresee a lot of retrenchments in the months ahead
those who gets retrenched 1st might benefit more as courses start to fill up, and get delayed, those who retrenched later might not get ttheir retraining slots
