Career Conversion Programme: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how mid-career professionals can pivot to new roles through salary support and training subsidies provided by the government.
The Career Conversion Programme is a scheme designed to help mid-career professionals transition into new industries or different roles through supported training and employment.
Who it's for
This programme is specifically for mid-career professionals who are looking to pivot their career paths or change their professional roles.
What you get
If you are hired by an employer through this scheme, you benefit from training subsidies and salary support. This helps companies take a chance on hiring people who are switching careers by covering some of the costs associated with your new role and upskilling.
What it costs you
To access these benefits, your employer must participate in the programme. The scheme is designed to work through an employment relationship rather than as an individual grant.
The catch to know
This programme is intended for traditional employment; it cannot be used if you are working as a self-employed freelancer.
How to apply
- Identify the new career path or industry you wish to enter.
- Look for employers that are participating in the programme.
- Apply for roles that offer training and salary support under this scheme.
