The Training Employment Pass is intended to cater to corporate trainees from overseas undergoing practical training in Singapore for professional, managerial, executive or specialist jobs for their eventual work back in their own country. The Training Employment Pass also applies to foreign undergraduates or graduates who would like to gain internship experience for professional or specialist jobs.

This pass is available to foreign students and trainees from foreign offices or subsidiaries who earn a fixed monthly salary of at least SGD 3,000, and the graduate or trainee must be sponsored by a well-established Singapore-registered company. For foreign students, the training element must also be part of their degree program, and they must be studying at an acceptable university.

The Training Work Permit is for unskilled/semi-skilled foreign nationals undergoing training in Singapore and also for foreign students studying in Singapore. The Training Work Permit is valid for up to six months and is not renewable. The foreign national cannot get another Training Work Permit until six months after the expiry or cancellation of the last Training Work Permit.
