The Funding Scheme for Workplace English Training subsidizes employers to commission in-house English training tailor-made for their employees to attain the relevant benchmark of their job type by taking any of the specified international business English examinations.

Funding is given to meet 50% of the employees’ English training cost and examination fees, subject to a maximum of $3,000 per person. Approval for earmarking of fund will be given to the applying company initially. Reimbursement of funding will be released to the applying company only after the employees concerned have attained the minimum benchmark(s) in one of the specified international business English examination(s).

Companies interested to apply for the subsidy are requested to submit their application forms to the Office of the Workplace English Campaign on or before 30 January 2009 (Friday). Late applications will NOT be accepted.
