Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 4: Usha Chandradas on SkillsFuture and training allowance
How will the S$4,000 SkillsFuture Level-Up grant benefit freelancers and self-employed persons, a large proportion of whom work in the arts? NMP Usha Chandradas asked this in Parliament on Monday (Mar 4). She sought clarification from the ministry on how the SkillsFuture Level-Up courses will take the specific learning needs of freelancers into account. She also expressed hope that the training allowance will eventually be extended to caregivers who wish to upskill themselves, with a view to re-enter the workforce.
