What is the Cultural Orientation Programme (COP)

The COP is launched as a pilot and is an online learning experience for S Pass holders to:

  • Familiarise themselves with Singapore’s culture and workplace norms
  • Encourage positive interactions with locals

The COP is not only for new S Pass holders. Existing S Pass holders may also attend the COP.

S Pass holders are encouraged to complete the COP before they start work. The programme covers the following topics:

  • Expectations, rights and responsibilities on living and working in Singapore
  • How to create positive interactions with colleagues and the community
  • Appreciating and understanding Singapore’s culture 
  • Resources available to learn and find out more after completing the online programme 

After the pilot ends in 2025, MOM will consider including the COP as part of the S Pass application process.
