Mid-career allowance for part-time courses applies to transition programme, full qualifications up to undergrad degree - Business Times

It will also apply to micro-credentials that are stacked to these full qualifications, said Minister of State for Education Gan Siow Huang at the ministry’s Committee of Supply debate on Thursday (Mar 6). “While some learners would hope for a broader set of courses to be eligible, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has to strike a balance between flexibility and prudent use of public funds,” said Terence Ho, associate professor in practice at the National University of Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Part of the SkillsFuture Level-Up Programme, the allowance is for mid-career Singaporean workers aged 40 and above. Its expansion to part-time courses, from next year, was announced in Budget 2025.
