What is the Career Conversion Programme (CCP)?

The Career Conversion Programme, facilitated by Workforce Singapore (WSG), is a dynamic initiative designed to facilitate the transition of mid-career individuals into new sectors or occupations. It aims to equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to embark on new career pathways, thereby fostering a resilient and adaptable workforce.

Who is eligible to participate in the Career Conversion Programme (CCP)?

Both employers and employees in Singapore across various industries are eligible to participate in the Career Conversion Programme (CCP). The programme particularly targets employers seeking to hire mid-career individuals looking to switch careers or re-enter the workforce.

How many modes of the Career Conversion Programme (CCP) are there?

CCPs offers 3 modes tailored to meet the diverse needs and preferences of mid-career individuals seeking career transitions:

  • Place-and-Train: Under this mode, mid-career individuals are hired by participating employers and undergo training to prepare for new job roles within the organisation.
  • Attach-and-Train: This mode provides comprehensive training and work attachments through industry partners in growth sectors. Upon completion, participants are placed in job roles with promising future prospects.
  • Redeployment/Job Redesign (JR) Reskilling: Designed for companies undergoing business transformation, this mode targets existing workers who may face redundancy or are in vulnerable positions due to organisational changes. These workers receive training to transition into new or redesigned job roles within the same company, ensuring continuity and adaptability in the workforce

What is the difference between Redeployment and JR Reskilling CCPs?

Redeployment CCPs are targeted at job roles that are at near-term risk of redundancy, whereas JR reskilling CCPs go further upstream to identify job roles that are vulnerable

due to business transformation plans but are not immediately at-risk. Both types of CCPs equip the existing workers with new skills that can allow them to take on new or redesigned job roles as a result of the business transformation. Interested companies may approach the relevant programme partner about the type of programme you may qualify under.

What are the eligibility criteria for employers to participate in the Career Conversion Programme (CCP)?

The participating company must fulfil the following criteria:

  • Registered or incorporated in Singapore.
  • Must be able to offer the Career Conversion Programme trainee a full-time employment contract on permanent terms or on contract terms that are no less than one (1) year, directly related to the job that the Career Conversion Programme is for, with remuneration that is commensurate with the market rate.
  • Commit to the Career Conversion Programme training arrangements for the mid-career individuals that they have selected.
  • Be committed to working with WSG or its appointed partner on the necessary administrative matters related to the programme.
  • For applications for redeployment/JR Reskilling, companies are required to submit details of their business transformation plan for evaluation by the appointed programme partners.  

Do SMEs qualify for the Career Conversion Programme?

Yes! SMEs are eligible to apply for the Career Conversion Programme as long as they meet the above criteria.

What are the Career Conversion Programme (CCP) enhancements?

Employers participating in the Career Conversion Programme (CCP) may receive various forms of support, including salary support, expanded eligible job roles, and Structured Career Planning (SCP) workshops.
