SINGAPORE : Singaporean professionals who want to make a career switch to the healthcare sector will be given a monthly training allowance for the three years they spend on training to become registered nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists or diagnostic radiographers.
Under the Healthcare Professionals Conversion Programme (PCP) offered by the Workforce Development Agency (WDA), Ministry of Health and Nanyang Polytechnic.
Successful candidates will receive subsidised training under the Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience (SPUR). They will only have to pay a net fee of S$6,656 over the three-year period
As the PCP is offered on a place-and-train basis, WDA said trainees can be assured of employment after completion of training.
To further ease the financial burden of the three-year programme, each sponsoring hospital will provide trainees a monthly training allowance of S$900 per month for their first year, S$950 for the second year and S$1,000 per month for the final year of training.
Trainees must serve a three-year bond with their sponsoring hospital upon completion of training.
Those interested in finding out more can attend the Healthcare Career Preview Seminar at Nanyang Polytechnic on December 13.
Members of the public can also obtain more information about the Professional Conversion Programmes at the WDA website.
