Be part of our efforts to develop
Singapore into Asia’s leading hub for design
excellence.
In March 2006, the SFIC embarked
on the Local Enterprise and Association Development
(LEAD) Programme to enhance furniture industry
and enterprise competitiveness. A whole plethora
of initiatives have been identified under this
LEAD programme, one of which focuses on nurturing
design talents and the development
of more design-centric companies.
The Furniture Designer Co-Development
Programme aims to groom more design talents within
the furniture industry.
It is targeted at SFIC member
companies who wish to hire full-time young design
talents and place them on a meaningful mentoring
programme that leads to the commercial production
of their works within a 12-month period.
The SFIC will co-fund 70% of
the young designer’s basic salary or up
to S$1,582 per month (CPF inclusive), whichever
is lower. The funding is for a total of 12 months.
Eligible companies who hire
new young designers over a 1-year employment contract
can submit their applications to the SFIC (maximum
of 1 young designer per company) for consideration.
