Money Hacks Ep 47: Getting started with SkillsFuture-funded courses if you have unused credit
11:16 mins
Synopsis: In this podcast series every Monday, The Straits Times and The Business Times break down actionable financial tips.
The $500 SkillsFuture credit is given to all Singaporeans aged 25 and older. The scheme was launched in January 2016.
Money Hacks' co-hosts Ernest Luis (above, right) and Chris Lim discuss practical tips to get started if you have not used your SkillsFuture credit.
- Logging in, checking on your remaining credit
- Prioritise and identify skills that can help upgrade your career, or personal goals, as programmes are divided into categories: students, employees, employers, learning throughout life
- Check on new available courses that were not listed a few years back
Plans to enhance the MySkillsFuture portal, which provides information on careers and the corresponding skills needed, mean users will be able to create an e-passport listing their e-certificates from training.
The upcoming SkillsFuture Festival 2019 will be held from June 28 till Aug 11 - featuring six weeks of workshops, talks, roadshows, experiential learning and lifestyle activities across the island, to inspire Singaporeans to develop a passion for learning and pursue skills mastery.
