To provide Singaporeans with more work-study opportunities in emerging and growth sectors, four new SkillsFuture Work-Study Programmes will be introduced by Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs), offering more than 140 places over the next two years. One of these is the first SkillsFuture Work-Study Degree Programme to be delivered in a Place-and-Train mode.

SSG has also developed the SkillsFuture Work-Study Portal to improve job-matching between interested trainees and companies to further support the expansion of Work-Study Programmes.

These were announced by Ms Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State (Ministry of Education and Ministry of Manpower), at the virtual SkillsFuture Work-Study Fair today, which is part of the ongoing Skills Future Month.
