Formal Accreditation or Integration of GRaduate Industry Traineeship Programme with Existing Academic Programmes at IHLs

Ms Elysa Chen asked the Minister for Manpower whether the Ministry is collaborating with Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) to formally accredit or integrate the learning outcomes and structured curriculum of the GRaduate Industry Traineeships (GRIT) Programme with existing academic training to ensure that the short three to six months placements maximise skill transfer by incorporating best practices from the internship programmes at IHLs.

Dr Tan See Leng: GRaduate Industry Traineeships (GRIT) is a temporary programme to support fresh graduates' entry into the workforce. Hence, there are currently no plans to explore formal accreditation or integration with academic training for GRIT.
