Career Conversion Programme

Career Conversion Programme (CCP)

The Career Conversion Programmes (CCPs) are targeted at mid-career Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians (PMETs), to undergo skills conversion and move into new occupations or sectors that have good prospects and opportunities for progression.

SGTech is the programme manager for 6 CCPs:

Cloud Professionals - Oracle NetSuite Professionals
Infocomm Sales and Marketing Professionals - Digital Sales Executive
Platform and System Professionals - Red Hat Professionals
Platform and System Professionals - Salesforce Platform Professionals
Tech Professionals – Business Intelligence Manager
Tech Professionals - Product Manager

These CCPs operate in 3 modalities:

Place-and-Train: Hire mid-career individuals without prior experience and provide on-the-job training for their new roles.
Redeployment or Job Redesign (JR) Reskilling: Targeted at companies that are undergoing business transformation, and where their existing workers are at risk of redundancy or in vulnerable jobs due to the transformation. These workers will be reskilled to take on new job roles or redesigned job roles that are of higher value-add within the same company.
