Young Talent Programme (YTP)

1. The Young Talent Programme (YTP) helps young talent have a meaningful international immersion experience and to better prepare them for future global careers.

2. It currently supports Singaporeans from participating local universities including NTU, NUS and SMU to take on market immersion opportunities such as internships and work-study programmes.

3. As part of the SkillsFuture initiative, IE Singapore will extend the YTP to all Polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). The expanded YTP will provide more opportunities for young Singaporean talent to gain valuable overseas working experience, international experiences and be better prepared to take on global careers.
