SGUnited Traineeships Programme for Host Organisations

The SGUnited Traineeships programme aims to provide traineeship opportunities to those who have recently graduated or will soon be graduating in 2019 to 2021 (both years inclusive). This will help them develop industry-relevant skills, notwithstanding the current economic climate, and boost their employability in preparation for the eventual recovery. By participating in the SGUnited Traineeships Programme, host organisations can gain access to a pool of fresh talent and be able to recruit experienced trainees when hiring picks up.

Organisations can come onboard as host organisations to bring in new graduates as trainees to support their business needs and will be able to tap on government support during the traineeship period in preparation of the economic recovery.
