Frequently asked questions

QCan EDG Human Capital Development be combined with the WSG Career Conversion Programme?

Yes — many companies pair EDG-funded HR redesign with Workforce Singapore reskilling programmes for hires moving into newly designed roles. We sequence them so the grants don't conflict.

QWhat evidence do I need to claim the grant?

Final deliverables, signed acknowledgement of outcomes, paid invoices, and proof of payment for consultancy fees. We prepare the full claim pack with you.

QDo internal HR hires qualify?

EDG supports consultancy and certain software, not full-time salaries. Internal hires fall under separate WSG schemes which we can advise on.
