Job Development Partner Programme
Jobs Development Partner Programme (JDPP) is a government initiative that’s launched in April 2022 to help SMEs accelerate industry transformation and spur job creation and job redesign.
In partnership with Singapore Business Federation (SBF), the Singapore Furniture Industries Council will be spearheading the JDPP to support our furniture SMEs in their transformation journey.

-
- Review your existing landscape and transformation readiness
- Identify company needs and gaps
- Recommend solutions
- Connect you with solution providers and government grants
