SkillsFuture Programmes - Build Your Skills To Fulfil Professional Goals

The Singapore government came up with this initiative called SkillsFuture which is aimed to strengthen the skills of Singaporeans and equip them with advanced knowledge. The government has come up with this unique endeavour to educate its citizens through SkillsFuture courses which make them capable of handling different industrial challenges globally.

Any Singaporean who is over 25 years old is qualified for SkillsFuture Credit amount. Amounting to S$500, this SkillsFuture Credit can be used by the citizens to pay their course fees.

This credit amount can be used to pay for specific programmes such as:

·         Courses that are offered by MOE-funded Post Secondary Education Institutions

·         Selected courses at LASALLE College of the Arts and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts

·         Courses subsidised by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA)

·         Courses subsidised by other public agencies   

By helping the citizens with this credit amount, the government aims to encourage the people of Singapore to take up such courses to secure their future. By successfully using this credit amount, students can complete their skills-based courses and apply for lucrative job roles.

The young talents of Singapore prefer to take admission for such courses because these courses are composed based on the needs of the industry. These are practice-based and task-based courses which help the students learn better.

In addition, these are formulated to suit the busy lifestyles and daily schedules of the corporate executives. Considering these advanced learners have stringent deadlines to meet at their offices and frequent meetings to attend, these flexible skills-centric courses prove to be of huge help to them. Since the class timings are not fixed, students can take up the classes, depending on their convenience. For instance, if a student is comfortable to take up the classes during the evening, the institute will tailor-make the classes accordingly.

This apart, the courses are also offered online. This makes it a lot easier for the participants to pursue these courses. All they require is a computer and an Internet, and they are good to go. Institutes provide training materials in CD's and pen-drives. The students can play them in their laptops and study from there. To add to that, participants can also seek help from the trainers online. They can speak to their instructors online to clarify their doubts. They can learn from videos, audios and presentations provided to them by the institute. Depending on the suitability of the learners, the trainers even provide special online classes during the weekends for further assistance. 

So, if you want to accomplish your business objectives and develop your career, enrol yourself for one such course. Whether you are taking up SkillsFuture, maritime, customised or online business management courses, take admission at an institute which offers task-based learning methods. This enables you to get a good grip over your subject.
