Grooming Furniture Design Talents

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.

LEAD Funding Coverage

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.
