Salary support for new hires and existing staff.
The Career Conversion Programme (CCP) funds 70% of monthly salary, or 90% for staff aged 40 and above or long-term unemployed, while your people train into a new role. We find the right Programme Pathway, prepare the application and training plan, and support you through approval and claims.
For Singapore-registered employers hiring or reskilling Singapore Citizens and PRs.
New hire or existing staff: pick your route.
New hires
For staff joining soon, or who joined in the last 3 months, converting into a role under one of the Programme Pathways. Salary support runs for at least 3 months, depending on the pathway:
- Most pathways: 6 months
- HR: 4 months
- Overseas markets: 9 months
- Biomedical: 12 months
- Different Job Scope: 3 months
Existing staff
For staff with at least 12 months’ service who are reskilled into a redesigned role, under any Programme Pathway except Different Job Scope, which is for new hires only.
Salary support is typically 3 months.
The job redesign itself can be done and funded under WDG(JR+) Scope 1, with the redesigned staff then invited to apply for CCP.
