The SCTP and Career Conversion Programmes (CCPs) are reskilling programmes under the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Support Package which aims to create more career transition opportunities for locals in their 40s and 50s to help them remain employable and access good jobs.

The SCTP is conducted on Train-and-Place modality where training providers will provide career advisory and assistance as part of the training to help trainees in their job search. The course duration typically ranges from 3 to 12 months and the training can be conducted in full-time or part-time format.

The CCP is conducted on a different modality from SCTP. There are 3 modes of CCP: 1) Place-and-Train where mid-career individual is hired by a participating employer before undergoing training to take on a new job role, 2) Attach-and-Train where mid-career individual is provided with training and work attachments, prior to job placement, through industry partners in growth sectors with good future job opportunities and 3) Redeployment/Job Redesign (JR) Reskilling which is targeted at companies that are undergoing business transformation, and where their existing workers are at risk of redundancy or in vulnerable jobs due to the transformation. The duration of a CCP typically ranges from 3 to 24 months, depending on the programme and job requirements.
