To encourage employers to embark on both enterprise and workforce transformation programmes in tandem, S$3,000 of the credit can be used for workforce transformation programmes only. Hence, employers can only use up to S$7,000 of the credit for enterprise transformation. There is no cap on the amount that can be used for workforce transformation.
Note:
a. A separate application for SFEC is not necessary. ESG will notify all newly eligible employers for SFEC via email sent to their registered CorpPass Administrators.
b. Employers will have to meet the eligibility criteria of the individual SFEC-supportable programmes before they can draw down the credit. The SFEC credit will be automatically deducted for SFEC-supportable schemes or training courses.
c. Employers newly qualified in 20211 may use their SFEC for supportable programmes applied from 1 April 2022. Employers who were previously qualified2 can continue to use their SFEC for supportable programmes submitted on or after
1 April 2020.
