The employer must also submit a Workforce Transformation Plan to SNEF for evaluation. The generic SWDA employer page says the respective Programme Partner follows up after an employer registers interest, but the capture does not reveal the form's later pages or a complete application and enrolment workflow.

2. Identify existing SO/SSO/SS/SSS staff who are Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, at least 21 years old, employed by the company for at least 1 year, not shareholders or related to the owners, and not in another CCP; seek their consensus before enrolling them.
3. Put in place structured OJT for each candidate in one or more of the listed areas, sized as a 1-month (160 hours) or 2-month (320 hours) programme according to the complexity of the OJT plan.
