If you are Singaporean, you have probably heard of SkillsFuture. Introduced in 2015, SkillsFuture is a government initiative that provides citizens with the opportunities to receive training and education so they can strengthen the workforce.
To support mid-careerists in their second career, the SkillsFuture Level-Up Programme was introduced in May this year for Singaporeans aged 40 and above. It includes an additional S$4,000 SkillsFuture Credit that can be used for more than 7,000 refresher courses.
Check out these event highlights at SkillsFuture Festival 2024.
