Singapore’s Career Conversion Programme helps employers reskill new hires or upskill existing staff, with up to 90% salary support. This guide gives a practical walkthrough based on Workforce Singapore requirements and real advisory experience. Employers hiring into sector-specific roles may also want to review our dedicated CCP for Digital Marketing and CCP for Sustainability pathway guides.
1. Check your eligibility
Company is Singapore registered
Staff are Singapore Citizens or PRs
Role is newly created or shows at least 50% change in scope for existing staff
Most CCPs use an online portal or e form. Ensure all fields are properly filled, and documents are attached. Avoid leaving sections blank.
5. Submit and respond to clarifications
Submit through the correct programme partner or portal
Monitor email for queries from WSG or the partner
Reply quickly and clearly to avoid delays
6. Receive approval and implement OJT
Once you receive approval, implement the OJT as planned and document progress. Salary support is usually reimbursed on a periodic basis when claims and evidence are submitted.
Common questions from employers
