CNA: SkillsFuture tightens funding rules to boost training relevance

SkillsFuture Singapore is tightening its course funding guidelines in a bid to raise the quality and relevance of workforce training. The changes will affect about 9,500 courses across 500 training providers, with stronger emphasis on industry-aligned skills. Providers seeking funding renewal must ensure at least 40% of learners are employer-sponsored, and that programmes address critical economic skills or meet regulatory standards. The move aims to better match training with labour market needs and improve employability. Caitlin Ng reports.
