Today I want to share this new thing in Singapore, the Polytechnic Talent for Finance Scheme.
It’s like, so cool for poly students and grads, can help them get into the finance sector.
Poly Talent for Finance: What’s the Big Deal?
This scheme is launched by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
It aims to support polytechnic students and graduates entering the financial sector.
Got 3 tracks: internships, apprenticeships, and sponsorships for further studies.
Mr Alvin Tan said, “the financial sector offers good jobs and rewarding careers for polytechnic graduates.”
So, if you’re a poly student or grad, you might want to check this out.
Internships: Get Job-Ready Like a Boss
First up, internships for poly students.
You’ll learn important skills and be ready to get a job once you graduate.
They’ll even fund 80% of your monthly internship stipend, capped at S$1,000 per month for up to 12 months!
Apprenticeships: An Alternative Pathway to Success
Next, apprenticeships for poly grads.
This track gives you another way to get a good job and eventually take on university graduate-equivalent roles.
Salary support of up to S$2,000 per month for 12 months.
And if you get into those roles within 3 years, you get salary support for an additional 12 months!
Sponsorships: Level Up Your Education
Lastly, sponsorships for finance professionals who hold a diploma.
Want to pursue relevant post-diploma and degree-equivalent programmes?
This track funds 50% of your tuition fees, capped at S$10,000.
