Our services
Everything between your manpower requirement and your workers' first day, including hiring under BCA's Alternative Entry Pathway (AEP).
Recruitment under the Alternative Entry Pathway (AEP)
The AEP is BCA's programme that lets construction firms take ownership of recruitment and bring in experienced workers without the overseas SEC(K) test. BCA expects it to give firms better-quality workers, a closer match to their trades and a faster recruitment process than conventional entry routes.
TrustArk supports employers hiring under the AEP: we source candidates with the right trade experience and certificates, screen and interview them, and handle documents and work pass processing once BCA approves your proposal.
Vocational certification route
Workers hold a vocational certificate from an institution recognised by their home country's government and accepted by BCA.
Employer-led route
Your firm proposes how it will select and train workers for specific trades, for example through interviews, skills assessments and screening for trade experience.
Policy update: BCA is phasing out overseas SEC(K) testing for new construction workers, starting with China and Thailand in January 2027 and covering all source countries from January 2028. Source: Building and Construction Authority.
Recruitment and worker sourcing
We source and match skilled foreign workers to your project's needs. We recruit in India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Cambodia, and every candidate comes with a CV and bio data so you can screen and shortlist.
- Skilled workers across a range of construction trades
- Our own interview on working experience and site safety
- Vocational certificates verified with local authorities at source
Interviews by video call
You can interview the shortlisted workers yourself. We arrange a video call between you and each candidate, and then you choose who to hire.
Training before departure
Selected workers complete theory and practical training before they travel, so they arrive prepared for site work in Singapore.
- Theory lessons in the classroom
- Hands-on practical training
- Assessment before documentation begins
Documents, work passes and MOM compliance
Once BCA approves your AEP proposal, we compile and verify the specific documents for every worker before they arrive and handle the work pass / AEP processing. As a licensed agency, we keep every application in line with Ministry of Manpower requirements.
- Documents compiled and verified for each worker
- Work pass / AEP processing
- Guidance on what employers need to do before arrival
Travel, arrival and handover
Before departure, workers are briefed in their native language on their exact Singapore employment terms, salary breakdown and upcoming skills assessment. We prepare them for travel and hand them over to you when they arrive in Singapore.
