Health Promotion Board

[midnightinparis]

Hi guys, currently in NUS Business School, on track for first-class honors. Recently, HPB sent an invitation for people to apply for the HPB scholarship. May I know what is the pay scheme like for scholars in HPB, and what is the working culture there?

Thanks in advance!

It really depends on what are your expectations. This sort of stat board specific individual scholarship scheme is quite decent - you get the benefit of a free post graduate education with maybe a 3-5 year bond.

Some stat boards also automatically place your CEP (or whatever is the equivalent) on at least somwehere like MX9/10 upon completion of studies. So in the sense you might get a slight advantage compared to other farmer civil servants.

However if your expectations is something like PSC or SAFOS where you have a shot to becoming AO, general and governmenet groom you for MOS/PS/DS/CE positions etc then I say forget about it. You might as well try for a MAP in the private sector.

may I know the culture at HPB? is it bureaucratic n inflexible compared to other stat board?

is it a good place for young people/fresh grad to start at?
