The Multi-skilling scheme provides an alternative pathway for the companies in the construction industry to upgrade their experienced workers from a Basic Skilled R1 worker to a Higher Skilled R1 worker.

This Multi-skilling scheme aims to build up a pool of strong skilful workers in Singapore who are competent in multiple skills sets. This allows them to be able to carry out more than 1 type of tasks on siet. Employers will also enjoy greater flexibility in deploying multi-skilled workers, hence reducing the downtime and improving their productivity.

Higher skilled R1 workers would also enjoy a long allowable period of employment (up to 22 years in Singapore), and lower foreign worker levy than Basic Skilled R2 workers.

A worker must possess SEC(K) certificates in 2 different construction trades and have a minimum of 4 years of construction experience in Singapore before they can be registered under the Multi-skilling scheme. Starting from 1 October 2016, this upgrading pathway will be extended to longer-staying workers who are specialised in safety-related works on site.

All registered multi-skilled workers must meet the Continuing Education & Training (CET) requirements before renewing their registration every 2 years.

SCRC is part of the Land Transport Authority (LTA)’s productivity initiatives. LTA stipulates that all companies with rail contracts have to deploy a minimum of 10% of the workforce to be SCRCs.

There are 5 requirements for the SCRC programme.

i) The worker must have relevant working experience of at least 10 years
ii) The worker must have appropriate knowledge and skills in Reinforced Concrete
iii) The worker needs to have organisation and planning skills so as to work independently and efficiently
iv) The worker must show higher productivity level output as compared to R1 workers in similar reinforced concrete works
v) The worker must submit the application and obtain the Letter of Approval from LTA so as to sit for the SCRC test
