FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my company apply for more than one grant?
Yes. You can apply for all the grants that your company is eligible for, and receive funding from multiple grants.
Can my company apply for the same grant multiple times?
This depends on the specific grant. There are some grants where you can apply multiple times, if your company and candidates are eligible, such as Recruit & Train Programme, Global Ready Talent Programme, Career Trial and SGUnited Mid-Career Pathways.

Other grants are only one-time per company, even if you have subsequent candidates that are eligible. For example, the Part-Time Re-employment Grant can only be tapped on once per company.

To find out if your company can apply for certain grants multiple times, book a discovery session with our team so we can do a personalised assessment.
