NTUC launches new program to boost SME transformation

SME’s can tap into the NTUC CTC Grant, which covers up to 70% of qualifying costs.

The National Trades Union Congress has launched the SME Partners Multiplier Programme to support small and medium-sized enterprises in their transformation.

Partners include participating industry associations, trade bodies, and business clans, collectively called multipliers

Through the programme, the multipliers will help more SME workers access training and upskilling opportunities, whilst allowing employers to tap into grants and digitalisation.

SMEs will also gain access to joint capability-building and transformation initiatives developed under the NTUC Company Training Committee framework.

Further, they can tap into the NTUC CTC Grant, which covers up to 70% of qualifying costs for workforce and business transformation projects.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
