Mr Chan Chun Sing: The $4,000 SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career) supports mid-career Singaporeans aged 40 and above to pursue substantive upskilling and reskilling to stay relevant and competitive. Today, it can be used on over 7,000 courses with better employability outcomes, including academic full qualifications and industry-specific courses. SkillsFuture Singapore will work closely with sector agencies, industry and training providers to refresh these courses and ensure that they support our economic and manpower needs.
