What is the Company Training Committee Grant?
The Company Training Committee Grant, commonly known as the CTC Grant, supports business transformation projects that improve productivity and create better outcomes for workers. For SMEs, this can be a practical pathway to redesign operations, adopt technology, improve processes, upgrade job roles and train staff for new ways of working.
The grant is not just about buying software or attending training. A strong CTC project should show a clear connection between business transformation, worker impact, implementation actions and measurable outcomes.
What can be included in a CTC transformation project?
Consultancy
Consultancy work may include business process review, workflow redesign, SOP development, job redesign, project scoping, implementation planning, change management and worker impact documentation.
- Business process redesign
- SOP development
- Job redesign

Software & Digital Systems
Where relevant, companies may adopt systems or digital tools that support productivity improvement, workflow visibility, automation or better customer and service management.
- CRM systems
- Workflow systems
- Inventory or warehouse systems
- HR / payroll systems
- Lead management systems

Hardware & Equipment
Where applicable, hardware or equipment may be part of the transformation project if it supports productivity, process improvement or worker outcomes.
- Scanners or devices for digital workflows
- Automation-related equipment
- Operations hardware
- Productivity tools
- Equipment required to support redesigned work processes
Training & Capability Building
Training should support staff adoption of new workflows, systems, AI tools, SOPs or redesigned job roles. It should be linked to the transformation project, not treated as a standalone workshop only.
- AI training
- System user training
- SOP-based training
- Service or operations training
- Role-based training
- Change management workshops
- Manager and supervisor training
What the CTC Grant can help SMEs address
Rising manpower costs and tighter labour supply
SMEs need to help existing teams do higher-value work instead of relying only on more headcount.
Manual processes that limit growth
Repeated data entry, paper-based workflows, WhatsApp coordination and spreadsheet tracking can slow the business down.
AI and automation without workflow redesign
AI tools only create value when the underlying workflow, roles and SOPs are redesigned properly.
Workers need clearer future-state roles
As businesses adopt new tools, staff need clear responsibilities, training and pathways into higher-value work.
Technology projects often fail without project management
SMEs may buy software, but struggle with vendor coordination, staff adoption, SOP alignment and implementation follow-through.
Grant scoping is often the missing link
A good transformation project must connect business outcomes, worker impact, technology, training and implementation deliverables.

Example: How a CTC transformation project can be structured
An SME may start with a problem such as slow manual order processing, poor inventory visibility or over-reliance on the business owner. Bluehive would first review the process, map current workflows, identify gaps, recommend future-state workflows, evaluate suitable systems or AI tools, develop SOPs, redesign staff roles, train the team and support implementation.
| Project Component | Example Bluehive Support |
|---|---|
| Business diagnostic | Review pain points, productivity gaps and transformation priorities |
| Process redesign | Map current and future workflows |
| Technology adoption | Recommend and coordinate software, AI tools or hardware where relevant |
