SGUnited Traineeships Programme for Trainees

The SGUnited Traineeships Programme aims to support those who have recently graduated or will soon be graduating from the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), Polytechnics, Universities and other private educational institutions in 2019 or 2020, to take up traineeship opportunities across various sectors. This includes those who graduated from the above institutions and recently completed National Service in 2019/2020.

These traineeships will help graduates develop their skills professionally even during the current economic climate. With a duration of up to 9 months, these traineeships will equip young locals with valuable industry experience and allow them to gain a firmer foothold in the job market during the economic recovery.

Trainees will gain valuable industry experience and receive a training allowance for the duration of the SGUnited Traineeship Programme. The training allowance will be co-funded by the Government and participating host organisations.
