Translation Talent Development Scheme
About the Translation Talent Development Scheme
The Translation Talent Development Scheme (TTDS) – an initiative by the National Translation Committee (NTC) under the Ministry of Digital Development and Information – supports Singaporean translation and interpretation (T&I) practitioners from the private sector in deepening their skills.
Awarded recipients can receive up to S$10,000 on a reimbursement basis to upskill. This can be used to offset 90 per cent of the expenses incurred in their participation of capability development programme(s) related to translation, interpretation and/or languages in Singapore and overseas.
