Why is the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Training Allowance greater 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 take time off work and commit to the programme full-time, and is hence income-based.

Those embarking on part-time training can continue to receive their salaries. However, we recognise that they will incur expenses associated with training like books and transport and are therefore providing them a fixed allowance. This will be implemented in early 2026.
