Career Health SG

Career Health SG is Singapore's national initiative to help workers take proactive responsibility for their career development and help employers build stronger human-capital and skills-first hiring practices. MOM launched the initiative in July 2025 as a one-stop movement and portal bringing together tools and resources from the workforce and skills ecosystem. It is a framework of guidance, data, matching and development services—not an unemployment payment, a guaranteed job, or one universal training grant (MOM, 10 July 2025; MOM, Career Health SG).

The worker-facing model

Career Health SG encourages workers to assess their skills and career prospects, chart a pathway through training or career moves, and execute that plan through employment, reskilling or on-the-job learning. The current portal groups resources for fresh graduates, mid-career workers and people looking to grow in their existing field or change sectors. Examples include CareersFinder on MyCareersFuture, the Careers and Skills Passport, career coaching and guidance, the GRaduate Industry Traineeship (GRIT) Programme, Career Conversion Programmes, the Mid-Career Pathways Programme and SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support (MOM, Career Health SG). The presence of a tool or linked scheme does not erase that scheme's separate eligibility, funding and application rules.

Employer and labour-market role

Career Health SG also targets employers. MOM describes skills-first hiring, human-capital development, job redesign and meaningful career progression as ways for businesses to widen access to talent and retain workers. Career and skills data are intended to reduce information barriers between workers and employers; MOM reported that applications with verified credentials were 1.5 times more likely to be shortlisted in partner findings after the Careers and Skills Passport was integrated with JobStreet and FastJobs (MOM, 3 March 2026). The figure is a reported partner finding for those applications, not a guaranteed result for every applicant or a general hiring probability.

Guidance and mid-career support

Career Health SG is intended to make career planning more proactive, especially for workers navigating technology, sector change or longer working lives. MOM said in March 2026 that WSG and its partners had piloted targeted guidance for people in their 50s and 60s; the cited workshops had supported about 1,000 participants, with about four in five reporting that they had embarked on their career plans within six months of completion (MOM, 3 March 2026). These are programme-reported outcomes for the cited pilots, not a population-wide employment rate or proof that every participant changed jobs.

Career fairs and direct job-search support

The government’s Tripartite Career Fairs page, last updated 1 September 2026, brings together upcoming in-person and virtual events organised by the Skills and Workforce Development Agency and NTUC’s e2i. The listings include community career fairs, walk-in interviews, career-and-skills advisory sessions, sector-specific recruitment events and virtual interviews. The page is an event directory within the broader Career Health SG ecosystem, not a promise of a job, a universal hiring programme or a replacement for the eligibility rules of any linked employer or training scheme (gov.sg, last updated 1 September 2026).

The September 2026 listings illustrate the range of support. A Community Job Fair at Our Tampines Hub described opportunities across healthcare and community care, hospitality and lifestyle, manufacturing and technology, and operations, administrative and support roles, alongside access to e2i and Jobs Nearby resources. A SkillsFuture Roadshow at Paya Lebar Quarter offered on-site interviews with more than 16 employers, free one-to-one career-and-skills advisory, talks and course sign-ups. A virtual career fair for mid-careerists was listed for 21 September–4 October 2026, while the page also listed events for fresh graduates, people returning after a career break and residents seeking work closer to home (gov.sg, last updated 1 September 2026). Event dates, employers, vacancies and registration conditions can change; applicants should use the linked event listing rather than infer that every fair serves every occupation or applicant.

GRIT and GRIT@Gov for fresh graduates

The government’s fresh-graduate support page, last updated 1 September 2026, describes the GRaduate Industry Traineeships (GRIT) Programme as a joint MOM–Skills and Workforce Development Agency initiative offering structured three- to six-month traineeships across private and public sectors. GRIT@Gov, coordinated by the Public Service Division, provides comparable traineeship opportunities within public-sector agencies. The programmes are intended to build hands-on, industry-relevant experience and support transition into full-time work; they are traineeships, not automatic permanent employment or a universal hiring guarantee (gov.sg, last updated 1 September 2026).

The same page states a monthly traineeship allowance of S$1,800–S$2,400 and records that GRIT launched in October 2025 with 800 structured opportunities. The allowance and opportunity count are programme-published figures tied to the described schemes and launch context, not a national graduate salary, an entitlement for every applicant, or evidence that all placements pay the same amount. Applicants should check the linked application route and individual listing for current eligibility, host, duration and allowance terms (gov.sg, last updated 1 September 2026).

Institutions and current interpretation

Career Health SG was launched as a joint initiative of MOM, Workforce Singapore (WSG) and SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG). Singapore's Skills and Workforce Development Agency Act 2026 subsequently brought national skills, career, employment and workforce-development functions into the Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) from 1 July 2026, repealing the separate SSG and WSG Acts (Singapore Statutes Online, SWDA Act 2026; MOM, 5 May 2026). Career Health SG should therefore be understood as a continuing policy initiative whose delivery institutions are subject to that statutory transition, not as evidence that WSG and SSG remain separate current statutory boards.
