Please liaise with the Institute of Higher Learning’s (IHL) career office about your interest to offer a hybrid internship. IHLs are responsible for facilitating overseas internship placements, as well as disbursing the overseas allowance to the student.

Please ensure that your company has an approved GRT company application. If it already does, please ensure that all mandatory fields on the internship listing submission page are completed and scroll up to check for any error messages.

Job listings that have been on the system for over 6 months or have had all their requested positions filled will be archived by the system. If this is applicable to your enterprise, please submit your new job positions to your TAC AIP for approval.

Please approach your Approved-in-Principle partner to rework the placement with your amendments.

Please check if your job listing’s Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) requirement matches the intern’s qualifications. For example, if your job listing requires a university student, the system will not allow a diploma student to be placed in this position.

Do approach your Approved-in-Principle (AIP) partner. Please note that EnterpriseSG reserves the right to reject early terminations without proof of valid reason and to decide on the validity of the reason.

Please advise the student to login to the system from https://www.beglobalready.gov.sg/ with his/her Singpass to access the feedback link.

Once the intern has completed the feedback form, the record will be sent to your company for claims submission. You can check the status under the ‘Feedback Submitted’ column in your company’s list of claim applications in GRTNet.

As per the Letter of Offer, the company has 6 months from the end date of the internship to submit its claim. If your company is unable to find the placement ID on the claim tab, the validity period has probably ended. Your company may apply for a one-time extension within 3 months from the original claim deadline (which is 6 months from the internship end date).

You may login to GRTNet to view the status of your claim. All claims submitted are queued for verification upon receipt and authentication of supporting documents.

All claims must be submitted within 6 months from the end of the internship (as stated in the LOF) to be valid. Companies may request for a one-time extension within 3 months from the end of the original claim’s validity period. However, if the claim extension submission period has been exceeded or if you have previously submitted an extension request, no further extension will be given.

Please log in to the GRTNet to request for an extension. For a step-by-step guide, please refer to Section 27 of the company user guide.

You will receive an email notification once your claim has been approved. Thereafter, it will take an estimated 1-2 weeks for the grant disbursement to be credited to your company’s bank account.
