Short answer
CTC (Company Training Committee Grant) and SFEC (SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit) are separate schemes from EDGE and are expected to remain separate after EDGE launches. Stacking EDGE with CTC or SFEC for complementary workforce and training activities should be possible — subject to the no-double-funding rule on any single cost item.
Key facts
- CTC and SFEC are separate from EDGE — both expected to continue post-EDGE
- EDGE + CTC is the natural AI transformation stack
- No-double-funding rule: same cost item cannot be subsidised by two grants
- SFEC (S$10k per employer) can stack with CTC training components separately
EDGE consolidates PSG, EDG, and MRA only. CTC and SFEC operate under different policy frameworks (workforce and training, respectively) and are not part of the EDGE consolidation. Both are expected to continue as separate grant schemes.
The no-double-funding rule applies across all Singapore grants: the same cost item cannot be subsidised by two schemes simultaneously. But complementary activities can be funded by different grants — for example, EDGE funding the AI tool deployment (Digitalisation) while CTC funds the related worker training programme.
A well-scoped AI transformation project often has a natural EDGE + CTC stacking opportunity: EDGE covers the technology and process layer, CTC covers the skills and training layer for the affected roles. The total grant value across both schemes can be significantly higher than either scheme alone.
SFEC is a credit (S$10,000 per eligible employer) that can be applied against qualifying activities including CTC-eligible ones. While SFEC is not typically stacked with EDG/PSG directly, it can be applied to the training component of a broader project separately funded by EDGE.
