In today’s fast-evolving job market, Career Conversion Programmes (CCP) offer a valuable opportunity for both employers and individuals in Singapore to adapt to new roles and industries. Supported by Workforce Singapore (WSG), CCP are designed to equip mid-career workers with the skills and experience needed to take on new jobs in growth sectors.
Here’s a quick overview of what CCP are, how they work, and how your business can benefit from participating.
What Are Career Conversion Programmes (CCP)?
CCPs are reskilling and career transition programmes that help Singaporeans and Permanent Residents move into new occupations or sectors that they may not have prior experience in. They are especially helpful for:
Mid-career switchers
Jobseekers looking to move into in-demand industries
Employers hiring for roles that require specialized training
Types of CCP Available
There are three main modes of CCP:
Place-and-Train: The individual is hired by the employer first, then undergoes structured training.
Attach-and-Train: The individual undergoes training with industry partners, but not directly hired during the training period.
Redeployment/Reskilling: For companies undergoing business transformation—existing employees are reskilled for new or redesigned roles.
