A grant for employers who engage senior workers aged 60 and above, and are willing to offer part-time re-employment to senior workers with flexible work arrangements.
As a company, you put in place age-friendly HR policies, and receive $2,500 for each senior worker, up to a maximum of $125,000, which translates to 50 workers.
The Mid-Career Pathways Programme is for companies who want to retain senior workers aged 60 and above, tapping on their wealth of experience, and are willing to provide them with flexible working arrangements.
You must already employ at least 1 senior worker, though.
Your senior worker must be a Singaporean or PR. If your senior worker is a foreigner, they do not qualify for this grant.
Your senior worker must be aged 60 or above. This programme is built for mature, experienced talent.
You only need 1 qualifying senior worker already employed. Every additional senior worker adds to your funding at $2,500 per worker, up to 50 workers for a total of $125,000.
Your company needs to put these 5 things in place:
The grant pays a fixed amount for every qualifying senior worker in your company. There is no salary threshold and no training cost to cover.
For a company with 20 senior workers aged 60 and above, you receive $2,500 × 20 = $50,000. That's funding many companies with older workers aren't yet claiming.
Each company can receive the New PTRG only once, so it pays to count every eligible senior worker correctly before you apply. Don't make a mistake.

Everything you need to know about the PTRG Grant.
Is this a government programme? Are you the government?
Yes, the Part-Time Re-Employment Grant (PTRG) is a Singapore government initiative administered by the Skills & Workforce Development Agency (SWDA). However, we are an independent, private advisory firm, and we are not a government agency nor do we represent one. We consult and advise businesses on how the programme works and what to expect when applying.
How much can my company receive?
You can receive $2,500 per eligible senior worker, up to a total of 50 senior workers, which translates to a maximum of $125,000.
Can I apply multiple times as I get more senior workers?
No, your company can onlyl apply once. You are also not eligible even if your previous application was under the previous grant, which ran from 1 Jul 2020 to 31 Dec 2022.
What is the mandatory SNEF workshop about?
It is a Structured Career Planning (SCP) workshop. The workshop is aimed to benefit both employers and employees, and is designed to take into account the employer's current and future capability requirements, while also supporting the employee's work goals, wealth goals and well-being. The intended outcome is to enhance the employee's productivity in the long term to optimise their value-add to the business.
How long does PTRG application take to get approved?
Approval timelines are set by the administering agency, not by us. In general, it takes a few weeks. In your consult we'll give you a realistic picture of the process and documents involved so there are no surprises.
Do you submit the application for me?
No, the application is made by your company. Our role is purely advisory, where we help you understand the criteria, conditions and process so you can apply with confidence.
