For each generation – advanced training for hey -epochs: Minister Singapore

She explained that Singapore would support workers under the age of 40 who want additional qualifications.

“We consider not only the young generation. We think of every generation,” said the theo.

There is a program in the city-state called “Learning for training in the middle of your career“What gives help up to $ 3,000 in Singapore ($ 2250) a month to make employees to take a job to go full -time.

“So, if you take two years for this program, it is $ 72,000 to exceed the qualification, forwarding and be prepared for the future. That’s how we look at it.”

This scheme will also be available for workers who want to take part -time courses since the beginning of 2026.
