Actually I enrolled myself in pots n pans culinary courses/for western food, not bad. My chef teacher trained in Europe before and can see she is detailed, experienced. The recipe by Roland/youtuber and after cooking can jiak all the meat. This course ish got some standard one.

 

[qcubesg]

tiagong signing a new course now will use up first the $500 that will not expire.
after that then will utilise the going to expire one
is it true?

This is so insane and illogical, very fishy

• 500元技能培训补助年底到期 七成国人尚未使用​

  • 新加坡
  • 发布: 21 Oct 2025 07:37

As of September, about 70% of Singaporeans have not yet used the one-time 500 yuan skills training subsidy that expires at the end of this year.

In response to queries from CNA, SkillsFuture Singapore said that about seven out of every ten people have not yet used the subsidy; the number of people who have already used it is more than 778,500, of which nearly half are Singaporeans aged between 40 and 60 and in the middle of their careers.

Authorities also said that popular skills training courses include information and communications, food services and advertising, and sales and marketing.

The government provided a one-off supplement of $500 in skills training subsidies to Singaporeans aged 25 and above during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The subsidy expires on December 31 this year, and the SkillsFuture Singapore Agency has stated that it has no intention of extending the deadline.

Authorities said some Singaporeans may not need the one-off subsidy at their current stage of life, especially those whose training costs are borne by their employers.

As for future training needs, the authorities said that Singaporeans can make good use of skills training subsidies with no expiration date and the substantial subsidies provided by the government.

According to data, the number of Singaporeans who used skills training subsidies last year surged by 35% from the year before, reaching 260,000.

Some of the reasons Singaporeans interviewed told CNA they haven't used their subsidies for training include a lack of time and difficulty finding suitable courses. Experts also pointed out that doubts about whether these courses will pay off in their careers may also be a factor holding them back.

[dushensiao]

Another Policy fail.

Ministers should be penalised for wasting resources.

They should shrink their civil servants manning the skillsfutures, dunno what agency it was called

 

[tan kuku]

Assuming 70% of sinkies (citizens) ish about 2.52 million people

2.52 million multiply by $500 = $1.26 billion!
