Singaporeans Who’ve Made Career Comebacks, and How Reskilling and Upskilling Helps

Career setbacks don’t have to be the end of your professional journey. Here’s how to bounce back, and the stories of Singaporeans who’ve fought the same fight.

Career Bounce

The career path doesn’t always run smoothly. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, companies fail, or careers get derailed. Personal crises can also happen that can affect focus at work, and compatibility with your boss or the nature of a job can also affect your ability to do it.

Other times, the return from a career break may not have run so smoothly, and finding a job may not happen as quickly as you’d expect.

But that doesn’t mean the end of your career ambitions and aspirations! Here are some Singaporeans who’ve faced their own challenges, reskilled and upskilled, and managed to get their careers back on track.
