Application Process

Direct applications by students to Enterprise Singapore are not acceptable as applications are by invitation only. Students should complete the application form and return it to Q2FyZWVyRGV2QHN1c3MuZWR1LnNn with the relevant supporting documents.

The YTP-Market Immersion funding application is subject to Enterprise Singapore’s approval. Successful applicants will be notified by SUSS.

Students can approach and discuss with CareerDev to learn more about the overseas opportunities available. We will work with you to evaluate your eligibility for the YTP-Market Immersion and guide you on the application.

To alleviate financial concerns relating to overseas work programmes, students can apply for a bridging loan from CareerDev.

The OWA Bridging Loan is applicable to students who have confirmed an overseas work attachment of at least 4 months in duration, and received YTP funding approval funding for the same programme. Eligible student will receive an interest-free loan from CareerDev to help in the initial payments for items relating to the OWA, e.g., air tickets and accommodation.

Upon successful completion of the OWA, CareerDev will process the claims for student’s YTP funding, and credit the amount less the bridging loan back to student.
