MARINE PCP

PROFESSIONAL CONVERSION PROGRAMME FOR THE MARINE AND OFFSHORE INDUSTRY

About Marine PCP

The Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) is a career conversion programme for mid-career Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians (PMETs) to undergo skills conversion and transit into new occupations and sectors that have good prospects and opportunities for progression. 

The Association of Singapore Marine Industries (ASMI) has been appointed as the Programme Manager for the Marine PCP for the marine & offshore and oil & gas sectors. The Marine PCP aims to support companies in these sectors train and reskill employees to meet competencies required for occupations in their respective companies.

Types of Marine PCP

There are two types of PCP:

·         Place-and-Train:
   PMET is hired by a participating employer before undergoing training to take on the new job role. 

·         Redeployment:
   PMET at risk of redundancy is retained by existing employer and provided with training to reskill and take on       new job roles within the same company.

The Marine PCP is applicable for technical occupations such as Engineers, Assistant Engineers and Technicians. PCP conversion can be across sectors; within the same sector; or within the same company (for those at risk of redundancy).

Eligibility Criteria

·         Singapore Citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident

·         At least 21 years old

·         Graduated or completed National Service for at least 2 years

·         Not be in a similar job role prior to joining the PCP

·         Newly hired PMET must be recruited less than 3 months prior to enrolment for PCP

·         Applicant company should be a Singapore-registered Singapore-based company operating in the
   marine & offshore or oil & gas sector.

Duration of Marine PCP

The Marine PCP is a six-month programme comprising facilitated classroom training and structured on-the-job training. Participating companies employ the candidates before they undergo the 6-month structured training. Customised training programmes are designed for different job roles, which are further tailored to individual’s development needs so as to equip them with the relevant skills and competencies for a successful career conversion.
