How is the SkillsFuture Credit Initiative Helpful for Your Career?

SkillsFuture is a brilliant initiative by the Government of Singapore to create opportunities for Singaporeans to grown in their career irrespective of their age or existing skills. The Singaporeans who are aged 25 and above have received a credit sum of 500 dollars for training in various skills.

There is an extensive SkillsFuture courses list which allows you to choose the course of your choice for improving your skills and career prospects. It has also paved the way for Singaporeans to tread on the career path of their choice. Students will now have access to career guidance from counsellors which will help them in making smart career decisions. They will have increased exposure to learning experiences in various professions. Students can also expect an increase in the internship opportunities so that they gain more exposure to the field which they have chosen. This will be further boosted by the Young Talent Programme where students can sign up for internship programs outside the country.

Apart from choosing the SkillsFuture courses of their choice, they will also have access to an Individual Learning Portfolio which is sort of their career portfolio where they can see their education, training, and various statistics. They will also have an opportunity to view their interests, abilities, and aspirations when they grow up which will further help in grooming their career.

Apart from students, the young professionals will have access to Place and Train programmes which will place the professionals, executives, and managers in medium and small enterprises. This will help in acquiring necessary skills and enhance their portfolio.

Singaporeans who are in their mid-career can get access to modular SkillsFuture courses which are skill-focused short courses which will open a horizon of opportunities for Singaporeans to groom their skills and learn new ones.
