Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 5: Gan Siow Huang on support for mid-career workers
Starting next year, the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Training Allowance will be extended to workers enrolled in part-time training. They can apply for a fixed amount of S$300 a month to help cover learning expenses. Full-time training is covered from March 2025, with payouts of up to S$3,000. Individuals can get an allowance for a maximum of 24 months. Minister of State for Education Gan Siow Huang spoke on this in parliament on Thursday (Mar 6). She also outlined three priorities ahead for SkillsFuture - deepening the involvement of employers, especially SMEs, in skills development; empowering individuals to plan their careers and maximise their potential; and exploring new ways to support adult educators and professionalise the sector.
