Recently we engaged Ms. Michelle Ling, Senior Business Advisor from SME Centre@SouthWest on a business advisory session regarding the application of the Career Conversion Programmes (CCP) and Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) Grant.

This was the first time that we had applied for the grant, and we were clueless about how to proceed. Michelle was clear with the content of various avenues, spent time brainstorming the possibilities, and made appropriate suggestions to narrow down the grant for the management. It has helped in terms of the decision-making process.

I believe Michelle had gone beyond her core duties as a business advisor in assisting us. With her help, the application was seamlessly done. As an organisation we are grateful.
