Don’t see the role you’re trying to redesign into?

The 12 pathways above fund the person: salary support while someone converts into a role that already exists. If the role you have in mind is not on the list, or does not exist in your organisation yet, that is a job redesign question first. WDG(JR+), the Workforce Development Grant (Job Redesign Plus), funds the design of the role itself: workforce consultancy, capability building and the enabling tech, at up to 70% support for SMEs, capped at approximately S$150,000 per enterprise.

Once the redesigned role is defined, one of the pathways above, often the general “different job scope” route, can fund the person converting into it. Figures are indicative and subject to prevailing Skills and Workforce Development Agency criteria.
