Career Transition Programmes
What are Career Transition Programmes?
Career Transition Programmes, one of the programmes under SkillsFuture Mid-Career Support Package, are designed for mid-career individuals aged 40 to 60 to help them remain employable and gain access to more employment opportunities. Like the SGUnited Skills Programme and SGUnited Mid-Career Pathways Programme - Company Training, they cater to trainees who are seeking to reskill themselves to take on new or enhanced job opportunities. Course fees are also subsidised. However, Career Transition Programmes are of shorter duration and there is no training allowance provided.

Mid-Career Support Package?
The SkillsFuture Mid-Career Support Package supports career transition opportunities for locals in their 40s to 50s through the additional SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career Support) that makes training programmes like the Career Transition Programmes more affordable, provides access to volunteer career advice for workers, as well as hiring incentives to employers.
