Whether you are looking to expand your business overseas, reskill your current employees, or provide flexible work options for senior workers, there are fantastic government-supported programmes available to help you transform your workforce.
We’ve summarized the key programmes into a quick reference table below to help you find the right fit for your business needs:
| Programme | Key Objective | Funding & Benefits | Target Workforce/Requirements |
| Overseas Markets Immersion Programme (OMIP) | Supports companies with market expansion by reskilling employees through overseas postings. | Up to 70% salary support (capped at $5,000/month) and overseas allowance (capped at $3,000/month) for up to 9 months. | Singapore Citizens (SC)/Permanent Residents (PR) mid-career new hires or existing staff with little to no relevant overseas experience. |
| Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) Grant – Overseas Marketing Presence (OMP) | Supports overseas deployment of a permanent Business Development (BD) employee to drive in-market growth. | Up to 70% support for local BD staff (or 50% for foreign staff) covering basic salary and office rental for 6 to 12 months. | Full-time BD staff who maintain continuous physical presence in the target overseas market. |
| Career Conversion Programmes (CCP) | Broadens your talent pool by reskilling mid-career switchers or existing employees for growth job roles. | Up to 90% salary support or training allowance (for mature/long-term unemployed workers), plus on-the-job training. | Mid-career individuals (SC/PR, aged 21+) across ~30 sectors through Place-and-Train, Attach-and-Train, or Job Redesign modes. |
| New Part-time Re-employment Grant (PTRG) | Attracts and retains senior workers by encouraging part-time re-employment and Flexible Work Arrangements (FWAs). | Funding support of up to $125,000 for eligible employers. | Companies must have at least one senior worker aged 60 years and above. |
Programmes like CCP and OMIP not only heavily subsidise salary costs but also provide structured training plans to ensure your team has the exact skills needed to succeed. For mature workforces, tapping into the PTRG (extended until 2027) can help you create a highly flexible, retention-focused environment.
