CCPs are targeted at Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians (PMETs), including mid-career switchers, to undergo industry-recognised training, reskill and take on new job roles in growth areas.

Participating companies can also access a wider pool of candidates when hiring through CCPs.

• Must not be a shareholder of the participating company, or its related companies;

• Must not be related to the owner(s) of the participating company, or its related companies; and
