​From the Workforce Singapore (WSG) Career Conversion Programmes to the SG United Mid-Career Pathway scheme , there are a variety of options that can provide financial assistance and support for your hiring needs. Below we'll explore the different grants available and how you can take advantage of them to grow your business.

Summary

The Career Conversion Program (CCP) is a government initiative in Singapore aimed at helping mid-career professionals make a successful transition into new industries. It covers a wide range of industries, including healthcare, logistics, and information technology.

There are 3 modes of CCPs:
1. Place-and-Train: The mid-career individual is hired by a participating employer before undergoing a training to take on a new job role.
2. Attach-and-Train: The mid-career individual is provided with training and work attachments, prior to job placement. This is done in partnership with industry partners in growth sectors with good future career opportunities.
3. Redeployment / Job Redesign (JR) Re-skilling: This is targeted at companies that are undergoing business transformation, and where their existing workers are at risk of redundancy or in vulnerable jobs due to the transformation. These workers will be provided with training to prepare them for new job roles or redesigned job roles within the same company.

​There is salary support of up to 90% for mid-career workers, capped at $6,000 per month.
