Sector-based Work Academy Programme (SWAP) 

Sector-Based Work Academy Programme (SWAP) helps people who are receiving unemployment benefits prepare for and find jobs in different industries.  

For jobseekers, SWAP offers training and work experience in specific fields, making them more qualified for jobs in those industries. It helps them shift careers and improve their chances of landing a job. 

Employers benefit too. They get access to a pool of potential employees who are trained and ready to work in their sector. This helps them fill job openings quickly and ensures they have skilled workers for the long term. 

So, if you’re on unemployment benefits and want to switch careers, or if you’re a business looking for skilled workers, SWAP might be the solution for you.
