We thank Mr Sim Eng Cheong for his letter “ Broaden SkillsFuture support for industry-specific training
The SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career) can be used for over 7,000 courses, including courses specific to the maritime sector, such as Nanyang Technological University’s Master of Science (Maritime Studies), Singapore Polytechnic’s Specialist Diploma in Maritime Superintendency, and Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Diploma in Offshore and Sustainable Engineering. These courses have been identified to deliver strong employability outcomes.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) also provides funding support of up to 70 per cent for some 170 maritime courses under MPA’s Maritime Cluster Fund (MCF).
A full list of MCF-approved courses and the applicable funding support can be found on MPA’s website.
SkillsFuture Singapore and sector agencies, such as the MPA, work closely to continually review and refresh our list of training programmes that support career development.
We welcome suggestions from interested individuals on high-quality courses that are relevant to the profession and valued by the industry.
