Host organisations can take on mature mid-career individuals (aged 40 and above) who bring with them a wealth of work experience to such training attachments.
Upon completion of the attachment, the participating host organisations are required to hire these individuals on a permanent basis as long as their training and performance is assessed to be satisfactory during the attachment.
Funding & Incentives Trainees of such programmes will receive a training allowance of up to $3,800 per month for the duration of the attachment. The approved monthly training allowance may vary depending on the scope of the attachment proposed by the host organisation.
The government co-funds the training allowance with the host organisation.
To encourage early conversion of trainees to full-time employees, host organisations will continue to receive training allowance subsidies from WSG for the converted trainees (if the trainee has completed at least three months of the attachment).
