Why is the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Training Allowance given only for full-time training? How about adult learners undergoing part-time training who also face opportunity costs?
We recognise that individuals may embark on either full-time or part-time training, depending on personal circumstances such as financial situation or family commitment. For those embarking on full-time training, the Training Allowance is provided for the specific purpose of providing them financial support, as they will need to leave their job for the duration of study.
For those embarking on part-time programmes, they can continue to work full-time, as these programmes are typically designed to be work-compatible by scheduling the training during weekday nights or weekends. To lower the cost burden for this group of adult learners, they will continue to receive up to 90% course fee subsidies for MOE/SSG-funded part-time programmes and they can also use their $4,000 SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career) to defray the out-of-pocket costs.
