Anyone knows SME training funding?

[Babyt]

Hi,

 

Anyone applies for specialist diploma course under WDA - SME funding before?

 

If my staff wants to apply for a course, can he apply the course first with the polytechnic or must he wait for the company to register with WDA for approval before the staff can proceed to apply the course?

If I'm not wrong, funding for specialist diploma got different schemes. There are those that are diplomas given by centres certified by WDA, those have higher funding - up to 90% per pax. If your staff is going for diploma in institutions like SP/NP that provides CET, they are also subsidised by WDA, depending on the staff, it can be 70% - 90%.

 

The company just needs to claim from WDA, these type of schemes always company put out money first then later on claim from government one.

Bro, as an SME, do u meet the following criteria?

 

• Annual Sales turnover of not more than S$100 million
 
OR
 
• Employment size of not more than 200 workers

 

The eligibility criteria of at least 30% local shareholding being held by Singaporeans or Singapore PRs will still remain, for enterprises to qualify for the SME assistance programmes.
 
SSG funding is usually 70% of the course fees.

 

Given that you have many staff, it is best to conduct in-house.

 

Other funding are PIC and Capability Development Grants from SPRING.

 

If the above criteria are not met, no funding will be given.

In such a vast network, u gotta do TTT. Train the Trainers.

 

Then cascade down to locality or unit training.

 

Bo funding available.

teleconference!

 

The cheapest, fastest to cover the most ground.

 

with 2000 retail staffs across 300-400 retail points, you avg 4-5 staffs per point. Given that the shops are very likely spread all over a country, and you have less than 14 days time frame, very challenging to cover 30-40 stores a day. 

 

Arrange for teleconference training, let the staffs take turn to attend, you can at least cover 300-400 staffs at one go. There is no way you can transfer knowledge to all retail staff even if all 2000 attend the training, but you need to at least have the store manager well train in your product to assist

 

First conduct a teleconference training with the store managers, after that do a mass teleconference training spread over from now till May15.  The store managers will be able to help explain on the spot if there are Q&A. 

 

PM me if you need actual set up details. 

 

Good luck Bro.
