To mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the Government announced a series of support and training packages to protect workers’ jobs and seek support for upskilling or reskilling of their workers to prepare for recovery. These include:

• Enhanced Jobs Support Scheme to provide wage support to employers, particularly for those in sectors most affected by COVID-19
• Enhanced Training Support to provide air transport companies with time-limited enhanced training support to upgrade workers’ capabilities 
• Job Redesign Place-and-Train Programme to help employers defray costs in reskilling and preparing workers for newly created, redesigned and enhanced roles 
• Collaborative Fund to help unionised companies in the air transport sector send their workers for retraining and reskilling 
• Senior Worker Support Package to help companies retain senior workers
