SACEOS to administer MICE enterprise training scheme

The Singapore Workforce Development Authority has appointed the Singapore Association for Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (SACEOS) to promote and administer the Enterprise Training Support Scheme (ETS) for the MICE Industry.

Developed and launched last year by WDA and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), ETS seeks to help companies implement progressive human resource systems that will enhance in-house training infrastructure and capabilities, which will in turn raise skills and productivity of staff. The scheme also enables participating companies to save up to 90 per cent of course fees for accredited Singapore Workforce Skills Qualification training.

With this appointment, SACEOS will act as a one-stop ETS centre for its members, assisting with training grant applications and approval, and expedited reimbursements of training fees. It will also leverage its industry network to help WDA draw more MICE organisations into the ETS scheme.

SACEOS’ expertise in this arrangement will extend to sourcing of reputable and relevant programmes, and training development plans for its members.

Janet Tan-Collis, SACEOS’ president, said: “Our members are extended a very exclusive privilege by WDA. With SACEOS facilitating the entire process from application to reimbursements, there will be immense savings for our members.”

Non-members of SACEOS may also approach the association for the same services, subject to priority rights to members, or contact WDA directly.
