As the training partner, KLCII provided guidance on course entry requirements and professional training pathways. Offering programmes ranging from certificates to professional diplomas, KLCII is dedicated to equipping preschool educators with the skills and knowledge to excel in their workplace and uphold high standards of practice in the Early Childhood sector.
Participants also engaged with KLCII’s course consultants to learn more about the Career Conversion Programme (CCP), which supports mid-career professionals transitioning into the Early Childhood sector. They were informed about SSG funding, which provides up to 95% course fee subsidies for SSG-supported courses, as well as the $4,000 SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career) top-up for Singaporeans aged 40 and above.
These initiatives make professional training highly accessible, supporting lifelong learning while empowering individuals to upskill, reskill, and pursue a meaningful career nurturing young learners.

Attracting a mix of fresh entrants seeking their first career and experienced professionals considering a mid-career switch, the event highlighted the strong collaboration between KLCII, e2i, and preschool operators, leaving participants inspired and better prepared to take their first steps into a purposeful career in Early Childhood education.
