CCP for SME Professionals (CCP-SME)

ABOUT CCP-SME Professionals (CCP-SME)

The CCP for SME Professionals helps PMETs by: 

  • Providing access to a wide range of career opportunities within the SME ecosystem; 
  • Equipping them with new skills to take on new job roles in SMEs; 
  • Adjusting them to an SME working environment; and 
  • Providing the necessary foundational skills across areas like artificial intelligence, digitalisation, human resources, finance, admin and operations, sales and marketing. The CCP also equips them with basic knowledge and skills on leveraging AI and digitalisation to improve operational efficiency in SMEs. 
 

For PMETs joining from non-SMEs, the CCP will help them to adjust to the SOPs and processes in SMEs, which may include multi-tasking and taking on enlarged job scopes.
