About Career Conversion Programme (CCP) for Biomedical Manufacturing Industry

The CCP for Biomedical Manufacturing Industry aims to help mid-career new hires or existing employees to reskill (PMETs and/or Rank-and-Files), who will undergo On-the-Job Training (OJT) to take on growth job roles with good long-term prospects.

Difference between PMET and RnF

PMET

PMET* roles encompass strategic decision-making, planning, and operational management.

Rank-and-File

Rank-and-file roles usually involve tasks that are more manual operational and labour-intensive.

This programme also aims to empower existing employees, including PMETs and Rank-and-File, to adapt to redesigned and enhanced roles during business transformations through targeted training and reskilling.

*PMET stands for Professionals, Managers, Executives & Technicians.

Two modes of training: Place-and-Train, Job Redesign Reskilling

Place-and-Train

(For New Hires)

Companies to recruit and reskill mid-career individuals to support business growth.
