PSC Scholarship (Engineering)
Career Development
1. |
Yes, job preferences will be considered. However, posting
and deployment options will be subjected to the availability of suitable
vacancies. We encourage candidates to have regular career conversations with
their parent agency to raise any concerns and queries.

2. |
Yes. Similar to other PSC
Scholarship holders, it is subject to the scholarship holders meeting the
emplacement criteria (including academic requirements) for the PSLP. As the PSC
Scholarship (Engineering) offers a specialised engineering career proposition, upon
graduation, PSC Scholarship (Engineering) holders will be placed on the PSLP
(General Phase – Engineering). This is a specialised track within PSLP (General
Phase).
The
PSLP is talent development programme to groom capable and talented individuals
for leadership positions across the public service. The programme has two
phases – General Phase and Sectoral Phase.

3. |
Unlike other officers on the
PSLP (General Phase),
officers on the PSLP (General Phase – Engineering) will be given dedicated
resources to pursue an engineering career in the Public Service. Upon
graduation, they will spend up to 4 years developing deep technical
capabilities in their engineering cluster. Officers will then go for an external
posting to another public agency within the same sector to deepen their
engineering expertise. PSLP (General Phase – Engineering) officers will also be
given similar training and development opportunities as other PSLP (General
Phase) officers to develop their leadership skills. This includes the Foundation
Course, coaching/mentoring, and opportunities to participate in cross-agency
project teams.

We encourage our candidates to thoroughly consider their career interest and aspirations before taking up a PSC scholarship. Scholarship holders will be expected to commit to the career choices made. Requests to pursue a different career pathway or to switch to another engineering cluster or parent agency will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, subject to the assessment of the releasing and receiving agency/cluster. Scholarship holders are encouraged to have regular career conversations with their parent agency (during studies and after they have started work) to ensure that they understand their career options and the implications of their choices.
