Training Support for Self-Employed: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Self-employed individuals in Singapore can access higher subsidies for approved course fees to help develop new professional skills.
This scheme provides financial assistance to people working for themselves by lowering the cost of professional development.
Who it's for
This support is available to self-employed individuals who wish to take part in approved training courses.
What you get
You receive higher subsidy rates on your course fees. This means the government covers a larger portion of the cost, making it cheaper for you to learn new skills or update your existing ones.
What it costs you
While the financial cost of the course is reduced, you are responsible for attending the sessions and successfully completing the course requirements.
The catch to know
Not every course qualifies for these higher subsidies. You must ensure that the specific course or workshop you are interested in is officially "SkillsFuture-approved" before you sign up, otherwise you may have to pay the full price.
How to apply
- Search for your desired course on the official portal.
- Verify that the course is listed as an approved training program for self-employed individuals.
- Register for the course and follow the instructor's enrollment process.
- Complete the course to ensure you have met the requirements for the subsidy.
