SINGAPORE - Workers will no longer get subsidies for most non-certifiable courses from SkillsFuture Singapore from 2024.

SkillsFuture credits will also no longer fund these courses, which currently comprise about 7 per cent of the courses the national body funds, SSG said on Tuesday .

Mr Chan identified four key challenges that must be met for Singapore to upskill its workforce at scale. "Many tend to apply a high discount rate towards training due to the tyranny of the 'urgent', and the 'here and now'. Bread-and-butter issues understandably occupy their minds." On the need to articulate demand for future skills, Mr Chan said individual companies may not know what future skills they need.

He said:"This will allow companies to focus more on skills and competencies, rather than relying on only qualifications such as degrees or diplomas as a proxy of the candidate's suitability."
