Hire or convert tech talent with up to 90% salary support.
The Career Conversion Programme funds a large share of a mid-career hire's salary during on-the-job training into a tech role. ICT roles receive 6 months of support — longer than most sectors. HRGrant.com guides you through the full application process.

Software Developer / Engineer

- Write clean, maintainable code across full-stack or specialised technology layers
- Participate in architecture discussions and technical design reviews
- Conduct code reviews, write unit and integration tests and manage technical debt
- Deploy and monitor applications through CI/CD pipelines
No prior software engineering experience is required — employers can hire a career-switcher into this role under CCP, with the government funding up to 90% of salary (capped at S$7,500/month) for 6 months while the new hire builds coding, system design and deployment skills entirely on the job.

Frequently asked questions
The employer does. CCP reimburses a portion of the salary you pay the employee during their training period, lowering your cost of hiring or reskilling — it isn't a payment to the worker.
The higher 90% rate applies where the employee is aged 40 and above, or has been unemployed long-term. Otherwise it's 70%. Each rate has its own monthly cap — S$7,500 and S$5,000 respectively.
Infocomm Technology roles are supported for 6 months under CCP. This is longer than the 3-month general tier, reflecting the depth of technical skills conversion required for ICT roles.
Both. CCP supports new hires moving into a converted role and existing staff being redeployed or reskilled into a substantially different role. We'll confirm which pathway fits in your consultation.
We'll be transparent about fees in your consultation, structured to make sense against the support you stand to receive. The initial eligibility assessment is free.
