In-Employment Upgrading Programme
The in-employment upgrading programmes aim to provide career progression pathways for existing workers moving into enhanced technical roles across key areas such as Production, Engineering / Maintenance, Quality and Validation within the Pharmaceutical / Biologics manufacturing industries.
Validation is the key verification process across all technical areas within a Pharmaceutical / Biologics Manufacturing Facility. It defines how the regulations which govern the manufacture of Pharmaceuticals / Biologics are applied and interpreted. A practical understanding of Validation is an essential requirement to assume technical roles in a Pharmaceuticals / Biologics Manufacturing Facility.
The Specialised Training Programmes in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (Validation) are designed to train candidates with a Science or Engineering background and who are currently working in the Pharmaceutical / Biologics Manufacturing industries and seeking a mid-career upgrade in job scope and responsibilities through up-skilling and multi-skilling.
Trainees on the In-Employment Upgrading Programme may be self-sponsored or company sponsored. If company sponsored, there is Absentee Payroll (AP) funding available. This Absentee Payroll (AP) funding is a grant to help companies defray the manpower cost incurred when they send their employees for training during working hours.
For training conducted outside working hours, the grant is meant to alleviate the opportunity costs incurred by the employees. Hence, the funding is to be paid to the employees together with the mandatory top-up to be made by the
employer.
