SkillsFuture is doing a lot of good work for Singapore right now. This is especially since the recently-launched programme has just allowed two million Singaporeans aged 25 and above to gain access to a myriad of courses that will help them expand their skill sets and even introduce them to new fields.
They can use an initial top up of S$500 in order to gain access to more than 10,000 courses in a lot of universities, institutions and schools that can help them expand their fields. A lot of Singaporeans have now considered taking up part time diploma courses in order to increase their value in the job market. And studying part time sure has a lot of perks! Surely, returning to the field of part-time studying may be nerve-wracking considering the age and the time needed to manage your work and priorities. You may have to consider that meeting new friends is fun. There are opportunities for coffee, exchanging notes and just chatting with everyone. The diversity in Singapore's schools and environment will allow a lot of interaction and learning. If you are lucky enough to be working, you can even be better at the job you have. If your course is related to your current work, you can apply your new knowledge and improve your performance. This can increase your skills and help you learn on the job. Your being capable of studying, committing to your family and an improved social life is challenging but it is also stimulating. Just think of the challenges you're slowly conquering, and how this can increase your self work. You will be better at researching, presenting and writing reports - you will win in life in general! There will also be financial benefits along the way. Of course, post-graduate study is expensive as there are a lot of requirements. However, tackling this the part-time way means you can control just how much time and money you are willing to dedicate for your studies. This can spread the costs and help you mitigate the risks. You still get student perks as well! Lastly, you will expand your mind and soul in the process. Never forget that studying will open you to new prospects and grow your perspective on a lot of things. This will not only be applicable to work, but to life as well. SkillsFuture is surely doing a lot to benefit Singapore's workforce. Singapore is definitely back in track to become a powerhouse in experts in various fields.
