Global Ready Talent Programme (Individuals)

Embarking on an overseas attachment or internship is a great opportunity to expand your horizons, immerse yourself in another culture, and gain invaluable work experience. In today’s globally connected world, overseas work exposure can enrich your student experience, cultivate personal growth, and open doors to bigger opportunities in your career.

The Global Ready Talent (GRT) Programme supports you in undertaking physical overseas internships in emerging markets to nurture your global aspirations. As part of the overseas allowance, students will receive:

• a one-time travel allowance of S$1200, and
• an additional subsistence allowance of S$32.90 per day

To qualify for the programme, you are to undertake physical overseas internships in eligible overseas markets with a focus on Southeast Asia, India and China. Emerging markets are also supported. You may refer to the list full list of eligible markets here.

The GRT Programme will not support any overseas programmes to developed markets such as Western Europe, North America and developed Asia Pacific.

A student who onboards the GRT Programme and interns overseas physically is expected to complete a mandatory internship feedback form on the internship experience. The internship feedback form can be accessed here.

Your respective education institution may also require you to submit other deliverables. As such, be sure to check with your education institution for the deliverables to be submitted as part of internship fulfilment.

Approach the career centre of your education institution to find out the process to secure an internship.

For more information you may speak to your respective Education Institution on your eligibility for funding support under the GRT Programme. As always, we encourage students to do their due diligence before embarking on internships.
