* Allowance indicated in the internship schedule above is the recommended baseline or minimum allowance per month set by the various industry sector coordinators.

The primary objective of internship is to expose students to meaningful and relevant workplace attachment to better connect their learning to the workplace and deepen their skills, so that they are better prepared for their transition to the workplace after graduation.
Grant/Subsidy Information
Please refer to the Internship Request schedule as above.
SMEs can receive up to 70% funding support covering the internship allowance by taking up the grant offered by Enterprise SG – Global Ready Talent Programme (ESG GRT), previously known as SPRING SME Talent Programme (STP).
For any enquiries on the ESG GRT Programme, please contact the relevant Trade Associations and Chambers (TACs) listed for more info.
Please take note of some requirements as below:
Singaporean students only
Minimum monthly allowance is $800
Provide a structured and meaningful internship experience
To apply for ESG GRT Grant, companies would need to go through a 3-phase application process:
Phase 1
SMEs will need to be an approved member of ESG GRT Programme at least 4 weeks before internship starts. Below are the steps usually involved in Phase 1.
Phase 2
SMEs will need to submit an internship job posting at the ESG GRT Portal to be approved by the relevant TAC and EnterpriseSG. The internship job posting will require at least 7 working days for approval. Below are the steps usually involved in Phase 2.
Phase 3
Upon approval of job posting in the EnterpriseSG Portal, the SMEs can then apply for the funding through the Portal using the confirmed Placement Email or Letter from SP, which requires another 7 working days for approval.
Overall, SMEs will need to start the funding support application at least 14 working days from Phase 2 before internship starts.
Once internship has started, SMEs will not be qualified to apply for ESG GRT Grant.
Insurance Coverage
1. PUBLIC LIABILITY
Please note that SP has taken out S$5,000,000.00 public liability policy (the “Policy”) to generally cover (amongst other items) loss or damage to property and/or injury or illnesses which arise in the course of the Internship Programme. In the event that the company (the “Company”) suffers such losses or damage in the course of providing SP’s students with training under the Internship Programme, and strictly to the extent such losses or damage are covered by and are recoverable by SP under the Policy, SP will reimburse the Company the amount of such losses or damage from the proceeds of the Policy.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Policy covers firms, organisations or establishments offering practical training, sporting facilities or field work studies to SP’s students in respect of (a) loss or damage to property belonging to the Company or other third parties, (b) injury to or illness of persons other than the students and (c) injury to or illness of the students or loss or damage to the property of the students. In connection with the above, property damage covered by the Policy shall mean physical damage to the substance of tangible property and shall not include damage to data or software.

Outpatient Treatment and Consultation
For both local and overseas outpatient treatment and consultation, the student, Liaison Officer (LO), or the company where student is attached to, shall make payment first, and then submit the claim directly to the insurer.
Payment by insurer is to be disbursed directly to the claimant by cheque within 30 days upon submission of a valid claim.
Hospitalisation
For local and overseas workplace accidents where hospitalization is required, students or the company can make payment first and then submit the claim directly to the insurer.
