Consider top-ups for SkillsFuture Credit
Last year, I attended a digital photography course for beginners at LaSalle College of the Arts at the cost of S$490 and used my SkillsFuture Credit.
Last year, I attended a digital photography course for beginners at LaSalle College of the Arts at the cost of S$490 and used my SkillsFuture Credit.
I intend to sign up for the next level of the course that costs S$261.03 after the National Silver Academy’s subsidy of S$228.97.
However, the S$500 SkillsFuture Credit — given to Singaporeans aged 25 and above last year with no expiry and can be used through one’s lifetime — is grossly insufficient for many meaningful courses.
As a retiree belonging to the Pioneer Generation, I hope the Government would consider further top-ups for the SkillsFuture this year as I wish to continue with the higher-level course.
The top-ups will also benefit many others especially the lower-income group, unemployed, retirees and students who intend to continue with more courses with various levels.
