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:
For New Hires
For Existing Employees
*Job level and salary should not be lower than previous and where relevant; company should provide an increment (where possible) that commensurate the new role / responsibility if it is of a higher job value.
Trainee will need to undergo a minimum of two sustainability training programmes to be selected from WSG pre-approved list. On top of the training programmes, there will be mentorship component, where the trainee will be assigned to an industry expert to guide them on their sustainability plans which will be conducted within the duration of 3 half-days. A networking component is included within the programme, to allow the trainees gain a better perspective of sustainability upon their peers.
The 3 half-day mentorship under this Career Conversion Programme for Sustainability Professionals aims to provide advice to trainees on the fundamental information, knowledge, and skills on sustainability (e.g Carbon management, Compliance requirements, etc).
This advisory will help trainees on how to kickstart their company’s sustainability journey through guidance and discussion on their action plans for their sustainability projects.

The primary roles for the Mentorship Council are to establish mentors’ selection guidelines, guidelines for mentors to provide mentoring sessions, assessment or performance guidelines for mentors, provide technical advisory where applicable and review the list of mentors and the effectiveness of the mentorship programme.
