The Southeast Asia Talent Ready Programme aims to equip Singaporeans with capabilities and know-how to excel in career opportunities within the region. This programme is a joint initiative by Enterprise Singapore (ESG), Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and Workforce Singapore (WSG).
This one-year programme helps mid-career professionals as well as unemployed professionals make career switches into sectors like wholesale trade and logistics. As employers, you are able to recruit experienced individuals to build your talent pool for your regional business expansion.
The recruited talent will attend a 90-hour structured training programme, consisting of classroom training, peer-to-peer learning sessions and industry networking events organised by SBF. The training programme will help candidates pick up relevant knowledge on the markets he or she will be in charge of. The remaining time will be spent working in the company and picking up sector specific skills, with help from appointed mentors in your company.
The Southeast Asia Ready Talent programme is supported under WSG’s Professional Conversion Programme (PCP). Salary and course fees can be defrayed through this scheme.
Participating companies must be registered or incorporated in Singapore and have regional job roles to offer to potential candidates.
