Who can apply?
Applicants must meet the relevant organisational requirements and establish a Company Training Committee with management and worker or union representation.
Published eligible categories include legally registered Singapore companies, societies, non-profits, charities, social service agencies, restructured hospitals, autonomous universities and social enterprises. An endorsed transformation plan is also required.

What can the project cover?
Transformation plans may combine workforce training with investments in business capabilities and operational improvements.
Supported components may include training, equipment, software and consultancy. Funding depends on the activity and assessment. In-house training is capped at S$9 per hour; non-SSG-supported external training may receive up to 70%, while SSG-supported training follows prevailing rates.

What outcomes are required?
Each project must demonstrate a business improvement alongside a meaningful benefit for local workers.
At least one local-worker outcome is required: a wage increase, a recurring skills allowance or a Career Development Plan. The project must also deliver its committed enterprise outcome.

How does the application work?
Applications are submitted directly through the e2i Grant Portal and are subject to review and approval.
Third-party consultant applications are rejected. Applicants must await assessment and the Letter of Award. The standard project period is one year, followed by delivery of the agreed outcomes and submission of claims under e2i's conditions.
