[Engineering] Composing a Digital Service using Platform Products – A Jobseeker Support Scheme Case Study​

10 September 2026, 11:00 - 12:30 GMT+0
GovTech (Punggol Digital District), Tower 82, Level 8 @ Community 1 & 2​, 82 Punggol Way, Singapore 829910

Overview

Why build from scratch when you can build on what already works?
How do you turn a new citizen-centric scheme into a working digital service without spending months building an entirely new system?

 

Join us for a behind-the-scenes technical deep dive into how GovTech and Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) brought together existing digital products such as ApplySG and GovEntry to power the Jobseeker Support Scheme, from application all the way to actual disbursement.

 

We’ll get into the real engineering story:
• How the platforms were integrated end-to-end.
• Where platform reuse saved months of engineering effort.
• Why cross-agency state mismatches created unexpected friction.
• What worked, what didn’t + what we’d do differently next time.

 

Build less. Reuse more. Ship faster. Sign up and come geek out with us!

Who should attend

If you’re an engineer, architect, product manager, CIO or tech leader building platforms and digital services, expect practical lessons on platform reuse, API-first design and cross-team integration whether you're from the SG Gov or private sector.
