ISCA grants $6m subsidy to launch Polytechnic Pathway Programme

Polytechnic graduates will receive a sponsorship of related fees for two years.

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) will inject $6m in subsidies for the Polytechnic Pathway Programme (PPP) curated for polytechnic graduates who will take the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ) programme.

Under the PPP, polytechnic graduates will receive a sponsorship of SCAQ-related fees and learning support from ISCA for a period of two years after graduation.

Students from all local polytechnics in Singapore are eligible regardless of their diplomas as ISCA aims to attract students across various non-accountancy disciplines, such as business, information technology, and even design and media.

In addition, ISCA will establish Campus Enterprise Hubs across six polytechnics and universities by end-January 2025. The hubs aim to provide students ISCA's wide network of relevant stakeholders, bringing over 520 employers and 3.6 million members.

Since its expansion in 2023, ISCA has seen a twofold increase in the number of polytechnic graduates enrolling for the SCAQ. Presently, ISCA has over 110 polytechnic graduates currently enrolled, which comprises around 11% of the total SCAQ foundation programme candidature pool.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
