It’s the New Year and naturally, you’ll want to reward employees for the past year. For the hardworking ones, a bonus is certainly in order! However, there’s this nagging fear that you can’t seem to shake off. For many employers, you’ve witnessed too many stellar employees putting in the dreaded resignation letter once the bonus reaches their hands. It’s inevitable that some of them are seeking greener pastures, but how do you ensure that operations continue without disruptions with decreased manpower? The Career Conversion Programme, or CCP in Singapore, just might be the solution!

So, what is the Career Conversion Programme (CCP) all about?

CCP is a structured program that helps HRs and companies tap on a larger pool of candidates with added benefits such as up to 90% monthly salary support and course fee subsidies.  

This helps companies acquire trained manpower, assess new hires efficiently and easily while minimising operational disruptions. 

This is How CCP Works in 3 Simple Steps:

Step 1: Employ Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents 

• • Targeted at mid-career switchers, to undergo skills conversion and move into new occupations or sectors that have good prospects and opportunities for progression.

• • New hires must not have held similar job roles or related positions in previous employment.

Step 2: Qualified employees undergo industry recognised courses while working

• • Trainees will undergo structured on-the-job training and the following courses with BELLS Academic Group to transit into the new job role. 
  • CCP trainees must complete all relevant training within the CCP duration

Step 3: Participating companies will receive up to 90% salary support and up to 70% course fee subsidies 

• • There are different levels of salary support and course funding for Singaporeans, Singapore PR of age 21-39 years old & > 40 years old.

As you can see, the benefits of hiring through CCP is that it provides career switchers with a structured pathway to upskill and reskill. This provides businesses with a larger talent pool to draw on, helping to ease any sudden demand surges in manpower, such as during the festive period. 

On the plus side, there’s also substantial CCP salary support for employees, which can help to ease the cost of upskilling while also providing employees with liveable wages.

Once your company has tapped into CCP in Singapore, you can proudly say that your organisation actively supports the professional development of employees and provide workers with opportunities to upskill themselves.
