What is it?

SkillsFuture Career Transition Programme (SCTP) supports mid-career individuals in acquiring industry-relevant skills to improve employability and pivot to new sectors or job roles. It is a train-and-place programme that is available on a part-time or full-time format, typically ranging from three to 12 months.

The SCTP will be delivered by Continuing Education and Training (CET) Centres and trainees can expect to receive employment facilitation support on top of training.

Courses under the SCTP have been progressively launched since Apr 2022. We target to have at least 200 SCTP courses by 2025.
