Course Information
The Career Conversion Programme (CCP) is an initiative by Workforce Singapore (WSG) to upskill or reskill Singaporeans by developing new capabilities to take on jobs in growth areas or new job roles. The CCP for Hybrid Event Executives aims to upskill current practitioners from the Hotel and Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions & Exhibitions (MICE) industries and equip them for the new hybrid event environment, which has become the new normal during this current pandemic.
Monthly salary support is provided by WSG to participating companies for 6 months, based on the following:
- Up to 70%, capped at $4,000 monthly
- Up to 90%, capped at $6,000 monthly for Singapore citizens aged 40 years and above
Learning Outcomes
