What is SkillsFuture?
In this digital age, paper qualifications are no longer the benchmark for workplace success. Instead, it’s the skills that one can bring to the table. The more skills one possesses, the chances of getting employed or promoted is higher.
SkillsFuture is a Government initiative launched in January 2016. It allows all Singaporeans above the age of 25 to continue to develop more skills through a series of courses and training. With newly acquired skills, one can maximise their potential and stay relevant in an ever-competitive landscape.
How does SkillsFuture work?
Each Singaporean above the age of 25 is given $500 credit in their SkillsFuture account. With this $500 credit, eligible Singaporeans can use it to offset the cost any of the SkillsFuture accredited courses. Click here for the full list of courses.
SkillsFuture in 2020
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Singapore could be witnessing up to 100,000 job losses, with up to 5% of unemployment losses.
To help locals tie through the tough economy, the Government is issuing a one-off SkillsFuture Credit top-up of $500 for all Singaporeans above the age of 25 in 2020. This measure, which will be effective from 1 October 2020, has been brought forward to 1 April 2020 by various Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and NTUC LearningHub. This early crediting is to enable Singapore Citizens to pick up skills and improve their chances of employment.
This one-time top-up can be used for any SkillsFuture courses before it expires on 31 December 2025.
2020 initiatives that have impacted the SkillsFuture scheme
SGUnited Skills (SGUS)
The SGUnited Skills (SGUS) is a 6 to 12-months full-time training programme for unemployed Singaporeans/PRs to upskill and reskill themselves with industry-relevant skills and knowledge.
The training programme is conducted at CET centres, including Institutes of Higher Learning such as Polytechnics. The programme is modular and provides flexibility to anyone who has found a job to leave the programme.
The cost typically ranges from $500 to $1,000. Applicants can use their SkillsFuture to offset the course payment. Additionally, participants will receive a training allowance of up to $1,200 per month. However, to qualify for this allowance, applicants need to achieve a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the assessment(s) given each month. Should any attendee quit the programme midway, the training allowance will be discontinued.
SGUS Participants who are the beneficiaries of the COVID-19 Support Grand (CSG) and the Self-Employed Person Income Relief Scheme (SIRS) will also receive top-ups to their payouts. CSG recipients will receive $400, while SIRS recipients will receive $200.
The training programme focuses on industries such as Manufacturing, Built Environment, Trade & Connectivity, Data Science, Branding & Design and more. These courses are designed in partnership with the relevant companies of the industry. Click here for a list of courses available from the SGUnited Skills initiative.
Upon completion of the programme, training centres will do their best to provide applicants with employment assistant, although there is no guaranteed success. However, candidates will graduate with Specialist Diploma that is recognised by the Government and industry, boosting their chances of employment.
NTUC Training Funds for SEPs (Ends on 31 December 2020)
This initiative is co-funded by the Government and NTUC, the NTUC Training Fund which allows Self-Employed Persons (SEPs) to earn as they learn. To qualify, applicants must indicate their self-employed status under the consolidated Statement of Income for Year of Assessment 2020 with IRAS.
Unlike the other initiatives, NTUC Training Funds caters to short courses. Applicants who attend training under this initiative between 1 April and 30 April 2020 can receive a training allowance of $7.50 per hour. For SEPs who attend the courses between 1 May and 31 December 2020, they will receive an enhanced training allowance of $10 per hour.
For existing NTUC Union members who joined on or before 1 March 2020, their training allowance will be increased to $11 per hour. Members who join after 1 March 2020 will receive a training allowance of $10.50.
Please note that all courses must be completed by 31 December 2020 to be eligible for the training allowance. For information about the available short courses, kindly click here.
SGUnited MidCareer Support (Ends on 31 December 2025)
Singaporeans between the ages of 40 to 60 (by 31 December 2020) will receive an additional $500 of SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career Support). This on top of the existing $500 given to all Singaporeans aged 25 and above.
This initiative provides career transition opportunities for all middle-age Singaporeans to equip themselves with skills that will enable them to gain access to better job prospects.
This extra $500 can be combined with the existing SkillsFuture credit to take up various career transition programmes conducted the Continuing Education and Training (CET) centre. The eligible courses will be revealed closer to 1 October 2020, when eligible individuals can start using this credit.
However, they must use this credit before 31 December 2025.

What happens after a person completes a SkillsFuture-accredited course?
Learning never stops. Depending on the courses that you have taken, you can choose to continue ascending the learning ladder with some of their advance courses.
Some learning academies, such as Udemy, has an online community for each course. In this community, you can ask questions, exchange knowledge with fellow participants and post up your homework to get some feedback. At times, the instructor will be there to provide critique, or even offer an exclusive live Masterclass for alumni to access the latest developments of that particular topic.
Recognised Continuing Education & Training (CET) centres may also have frequent tie-ups with participating organisations. They may provide placement opportunities with these organisations. However, the success of employability is subject to a case-by-case basis.

I’ve used up all my SkillsFuture credits. Are there other training subsidies available?

| Scheme | Who does it benefit? |

Factors to consider when deciding on a SkillsFuture course
$500 to $1,000 is not a considerable sum. The average cost of a SkillsFuture course average around $200 to $700, which means that you are only able to use the SkillsFuture credit for a maximum of 3 courses! Hence, it’s essential to think carefully before signing up for a class.
Here are some considerations which you can factor into your decision-making.
Your career goals
One critical lesson that 2020 has taught us is that no job positions are “stable”.
We have to continually upgrade our skills to stay relevant in this ever-changing world. However, instead of focusing on the fears of losing our jobs, we should channel our focus on our professional goals. Ask yourself these questions:
- What is my ideal career situation in the next 5 to 10 years?
- How much do I want to earn over the next 5 to 10 years?
- What kind of skills do I need to learn to achieve my ideal career and remuneration situation in the next 5 to 10 years?
The clearer you are, the easier it will be for you to choose a SkillsFuture course that will help you take a step closer to your professional goals.
Your amount of available time
Presently, there are over 22,000 SkillsFuture courses available. Some courses stretch for over a year, while some last for a day. There are some courses which require you to take time off and be at the physical location, while there are also plenty of them where you can learn at your own pace online.
As a busy professional, you have to factor in your work and lifestyle commitments when choosing a SkillsFuture course.
Certifications
If your goal of learning is to land a new job or getting promoted, it is essential to find a course that offers a certificate or diploma that is recognised by the industry.
To find courses that are recognised by the industry, Continuing Education & Training centres (CETs) and Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) are the safest bet.
SkillsFuture has also rolled up several programmes, which occasionally partners up with companies in the industry to develop highly relevant and recognised certifications. Some of the programmes include:
- SkillsFuture Series courses
- SGUnited Skill-Up courses
- Critical Infocomm Technology Resource Programme Plus (CTRIEP+)
Your learning style
Every individual is unique. Self-directed learners can try out the Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC), where they can learn at their own time.
If you are a total newbie to a particular subject, it’s highly advisable to go for a course that done out over a few weeks, instead of a one-day crash course. As Dr Maxwell Maltz, author of “Psycho-Cybernetics, A New Way to Get More Living Out of Life” pointed out, it takes 21 days to build up a new habit.
Your interests
Whether you are a retiree or are just satisfied with where you are in your career, there are several SkillsFuture courses which allow you to grow a new interest! Some of these interests include:
- Cooking
- Gardening
- Languages
- Pet Grooming
- Floral Arrangement
- Health and Fitness
- Computer Literacy
- Art

Makeup
Makeup courses are a terrific place for you to kickstart your dreams of becoming a makeup influencer or artiste. However, these courses also have non-professional takeaways, such as learning how to take care of your skin. You can also be a more informed shopper, knowing which beauty brand suits your skin best.
