Construction Workforce Registration System(CWRS)

The Construction Workforce Registration System (CWRS) is an online portal for CoreTrade and Multi-skilling registration and the renewal of Direct R1 eligibility.

Construction personnel who are eligible for registration include locals as well as suitable longer-staying and experienced or qualified foreign workers.

Foreign construction work permit holders registered in any of these schemes are considered higher-skilled workers under the tier-levy scheme with extended period of employment.
