SkillsFuture Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how Singaporeans aged 40 and above can access higher subsidies for course fees to support mid-career upskilling.
This scheme provides increased financial support for mid-career individuals to take up training courses to keep their skills relevant in a changing workforce.
Who it's for
This subsidy is designed specifically for Singaporeans who are aged 40 and above. It is intended to help those in the mid-career stage of their professional lives manage the costs of staying competitive and upskilling.
What you get
You can receive higher course fee subsidies when enrolling in training programs supported by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG). This enhanced support can cover up to 90% of the total cost for eligible courses, making it much more affordable to pursue new certifications or professional development.
What it costs you
While the government provides a significant portion of the funding through the subsidy, you are responsible for paying the remaining balance. The actual cost to you depends on the specific training program you choose to join. You will need to commit your time to complete the enrollment requirements and the coursework associated with your chosen program.
The catch to know
It is important to remember that the enhanced subsidy is not universal for all training. It only applies to courses that are specifically listed under the official SSG training directory. Before you commit to a program, you must ensure that the specific course you have selected is eligible for this enhanced mid-career rate.
