The Caregivers Training Grant (CTG) provides caregivers with subsidies to attend training that builds their capabilities in caring for the physical and socio-emotional needs of their dependents.
Regardless of income levels, families/caregivers can tap on an annual training grant of $200 for every dependent under their care to attend training programmes that have been pre-approved by the Centre for Enabled Living (CEL).
From 1 April 2011 onwards, besides tapping on the grant to offset training fees, caregivers will also need to give a co-payment of $10 (paid to the training provider) when they register for courses under CTG.
This co-payment serves to encourage caregivers to attend the courses they have registered for, and maximise their learning opportunities in the process.
(Note that the annual training grant is subject to change, and pre-approval does not constitute endorsement or accreditation.)
