Benefits of CCPs

CCPs provide salary support to employers for reskilling mid-career individuals. Long-term unemployed or mature jobseekers aged 40 and above are eligible for higher salary support of 90%. WSG offers CCPs in around 30 sectors to help mid-career jobseekers or existing employees reskill and take on new job roles with good prospects and opportunities for progression.

There are 3 modes of CCPs:

1. Place-and-Train: companies hire jobseekers and put the individuals through on-the-job training (OJT) or industry-recognised training to take on a new growth job role. 

2. Attach-and-Train: companies act as host employers to provide jobseekers with training and work attachments, in growth job roles where there are good prospects for placement. 

3. Job Redesign (JR) Reskilling: companies sends an existing employee for reskilling, to take on growth job roles aligned to Industry Transformation Maps/Jobs Transformation Maps. 

Growth jobs roles are emerging or good job opportunities with long-term prospects for progression, identified in each sector in response to how the industry is expected to transform over time.
