The use of word Industry Talent.. errrr..
Refreshing & interesting..
1st, tis basically is e-commerce marketing applicable for all not just only furniture industry..
2nd, how big & sustainable is furniture industry here ? Are you competitive in the region ? Do we have unique strength in design here ? Or great furntire history to uniquely spore design that the world wants a piece? Ie like japanese or swiss hand made knifes etc
3rd, how much $$ is pour into tis ? How many local pmets will switch and benefit ? Any loopholes that other corporate use this funding as training n go back to their sector ?
many other questions…. Hmmmm

that's how it is isn't it? whatever sector needs workers, we commonfolk are pushed there.. why are people surprised? it's how the education system works lol. maybe that's why they say retrenchment is good, force the peasants into industries that need workers
