The Overseas Markets Immersion Programme (OMIP) supports companies interested in overseas expansion by reskilling employees with little to no overseas experience in the market. This allows companies to invest in their employees’ development and ultimately enhance their global mobility.
Participating companies will work with Singapore Business Federation (SBF) to create customised employee training plans. The training plan (with a minimum of 9 months) will consist of on-the-job training (OJT), optional classroom training, or both, depending on the company’s requirements. At least 6 months must be based overseas (1 identified country) on a relocation basis.
For more information on the application processes, please download the Presentation Slides, Whitelisted Job Roles, FAQ.
