if you are an employer yourself, will a certificate of completion for a 5 or 7 day course makes you hire a person?

Useless courses when jobs are going to foreigners!

Lai 5-day Python Coding course!

Can anyone think of a course more useless than that?

skillsfuture funding could have been used to subsidize adult or children's university education. instead that's disallowed so they can say they did their part. "you didn't use it. not our problem." it's pushing money knowing you won't use it and then bragging "oh we allocated xxx millions for your career training. please vote for us". politics at play. whoever designed skillsfuture probably has a scheming & toxic personality

the main beneficiaries are actually the course providers. not you

Big Fail.
Instead of attending frivolous courses moi rather they convert the $ to caipng vouchers better.

actually moi rather no have these simi skew futures vultures. use the $ to pay our NS boys more allowance better.

Like what was mentioned before, What is the government intent? Just doesn't sync with what we need.

For me it's $5.5k down the drain. Use courses for career changing skills like class 2,3,4 license, how come dun have?

They provide some $$, we have to top up some and time, but for courses I say not that useful.

Government needs to look further.

The question - who Is benefiting? Trainees or training centers. 🤣🤣

Gahmen KPI is how many trainees completed the courses. Not how many found jobs after attending those courses?
