Graduates sought
NZPA Singapore New Zealand and Australian graduates are named on lists held by a committee set up to attract skilled manpower to Singapore. C.A.T.S. — Committee to Attract Talents to Singapore — is a committee set up as the centre of a discreet campaign to attract talents, the “Business Times” said. Foreign university graduates. mainly Malaysian, are needed to meet the shortage of skilled manpower in Singgapore, it was reported. The Public Service Commission set up a semi-secret Overseas Graduate Recruit-
ment unit in 1979 to conduct more co-ordinated and regular recruitment drives to attract potential foreign graduates from leading Western universities. The unit reportedly conducted recruitment drives in New Zealand; Australia, and Britain last year and has compiled extensive lists of names and personal details of more than 250 graduates from these countries. The New Zealand and Australian lists, covering the Universities of Auckland and Victoria and Melbourne, Monash, and New South Wales, reached employers last October.
