CCP for Sustainability Professionals (CCP-S)

About Career Conversion Programme for Sustainability Professionals (CCP-S)

Globally with the increasing focus on sustainability, more companies are starting to embrace sustainability practices. It is projected that more existing jobs will gradually be created or redesigned into new “green roles” such as carbon management. CCP-S assist companies train individuals to take on new roles or to be reskilled to take on new “green roles” and drive transformation.

CCP-S is offered in two modalities:

  • Place and Train (6 months duration) for new hires  
  • Job Redesign/ Reskilling (3 months duration) for existing employees who require to be reskilled to take on redesigned or new sustainability related role

    Programme

    Mandatory Components

    As part of the programme, trainees must complete one mandatory sustainability course. This course must be selected from SBF or other training providers listed on WSG’s pre-approved list. Companies are responsible for identifying and scheduling this course during the application process.

    In addition, companies must provide On-the-Job Training (OJT) to help trainees apply the sustainability knowledge and skills in their new roles.

    Companies are also required to attend structured career planning workshops to support the development of a Career Development Plan (CDP) for each trainee. However, companies with strong HR capabilities and established talent development programmes may be exempted from this requirement.

    An optional mentorship programme is available (with additional fees) for companies that wish to engage an industry expert to guide trainees in developing and implementing sustainability initiatives.


    Optional CCP-S Mentorship (Separate Fee Applies)


    The optional CCP-S Mentorship Programme consists of three half-day sessions and is available at a fee of S$800 (before GST). The mentorship aims to equip trainees with essential sustainability knowledge, skills, and insights in areas such as carbon management and regulatory compliance.

    Through expert guidance and consultation, trainees will receive support in developing action plans and initiating sustainability projects within their companies. Click here for the list of Mentors


    The CCP-S Mentorship Council, established in July 2022, oversees the governance of the mentorship programme. Its key responsibilities include setting selection criteria for mentors, defining guidelines for mentoring sessions, establishing performance and assessment standards for mentors, providing technical advisory, where applicable and reviewing mentor profiles and evaluating the overall effectiveness of the mentorship programme.
