Work-Study Diploma Programme
For organisations that are looking at developing the next pipeline of talents and exploring on how to create the next level of succession planning for your current workforce, ITE Work-Study Diplomas are certainly a scheme that you should not miss!
ITE Work-Study Diplomas is an apprenticeship avenue for companies seeking to recruit skilled ITE graduates. Under this scheme, the trainees will join your company as your full-time employees while upgrading for their Diploma. They will learn
on-the-job at the workplace and off-the-job in ITE. This enables trainees to link the classroom training with the hands-on authentic training at the work place. As our co-training partner, you will enjoy grant support from the Government and
work closely with ITE in conducting the training for your trainees.

Trainees joining the programme are ITE Nitec and Higher Nitec graduates who have at least 2 to 4 years of foundation skills and knowledge. The programme also welcomes in-service workers who have many years of working experience
but wish to obtain academic qualifications for their career progression.
Trainees enrolled into the programme are full-time employees of the company. Trainees will receive salary, CPF contribution and employment benefits in accordance to MOM’s guidelines.
