More opportunities for PMETs to switch to ICT jobs

PROFESSIONALS looking to make the switch to infocomm technology (ICT) or to upgrade their skills in the sector can now sign up for eight new ICT conversion programmes.

Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say announced the addition to the Professional Conversion Programmes (PCP) scheme at the first Adapt and Grow career fair, organised by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA), on Wednesday.

The scheme is targeted at professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) who want to upgrade their skills or learn new skills in order to take new job roles within the sector or make a mid-career switch.
