The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and Workforce Singapore (WSG), in collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), and SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), will introduce the Enterprise Workforce Transformation Package (EWTP) in 2026 to provide greater support for companies to embark on workforce transformation. The government has set aside over $400 million for the EWTP.
Enhancing support for companies to undertake enterprise and workforce transformation
The EWTP will enhance support for companies in three ways:
-
The SkillsFuture Workforce Development Grant (WDG) will provide a single application channel for companies to access workforce transformation schemes;
-
There will be greater support for workforce transformation and job redesign under the SkillsFuture Workforce Development Grant (Job Redesign+) (WDG(JR+)); and
-
The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) will be redesigned to allow companies to immediately offset any out-of-pocket expenses of workforce transformation.
SkillsFuture Workforce Development Grant (WDG)
WDG brings together existing Government workforce transformation schemes, such as the Career Conversion Programme and National Centre of Excellence for Workplace Learning (NACE) Workplace Learning Project to improve navigation and access of various support schemes.
Companies will be able to access workforce transformation support through a single application channel via the Business Grants Portal (BGP). The WDG will be rolled out in phases from 2026.
Greater support for workforce transformation/job redesign under SkillsFuture Workforce Development Grant (Job Redesign+) (WDG(JR+))
From March 2026, WDG(JR+) will provide enhanced funding to companies for their workforce transformation and job redesign efforts. WDG(JR+) will provide funding support of up to 70% for workforce transformation and job redesign project costs, capped at $150,000 per enterprise, with higher support levels provided for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). WDG(JR+) will replace the job redesign support offered under the Productivity Solutions Grant-Job Redesign (PSG-JR). To qualify, participating enterprises must fulfil the following criteria:
-
Registered or incorporated and operating in Singapore; and
-
Must have at least three local employees1

Redesigned SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)
The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) is currently offered as a credit of $10,000 for employers to defray out-of-pocket costs for specified enterprise and workforce transformation programmes on a reimbursement basis.
In late 2026, the SFEC will be redesigned in the following ways:
-
Companies can use the credits to immediately offset out-of-pocket costs for eligible workforce transformation initiatives and courses, instead of on reimbursement basis.
-
All companies with at least three resident employees (Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident) will receive a fresh amount of $10,000 credit in an online wallet.
The current SFEC will continue to operate until Nov 2026 to allow companies time to use their remaining credits and plan their transformation efforts accordingly.
Workforce Transformation Advisory Support
To improve our outreach and better support companies, especially SMEs, in navigating workforce transformation, Anchor Programme Partners (PPs) have been appointed to provide end-to-end support, from customised advisory to guidance on accessing programme support.
Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) have been appointed by WSG as the Anchor PPs under EWTP. Enterprises can find out more about EWTP through WSG’s website or submit your enquiries and interest through this form.
