2025年1月8日，新加坡教育部長陳振聲在國會答覆惹蘭勿剎集選區議員文佳禮博士關於鼓勵更多新加坡人使用2020年發放的500新元技能培訓補助填補的措施。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
文佳禮博士（惹蘭勿剎集選區議員）詢問教育部長，鑒於截至目前，僅有 26% 符合條件的新加坡人使用了2020年發放的500新元技能培訓補助填補，該補助金將在2025年底過期，政府正在採取哪些措施鼓勵剩餘的符合資格人士儘快使用？
陳振聲（教育部長）回覆：
政府在2020年為符合條件的新加坡人提供了一次性500新元的技能培訓額外補助金，該補助金將在2025年底過期。
截至2024年11月26日，約 26% 的符合條件新加坡人已使用了這筆額外補助金。此外，許多人也參與了培訓，但未使用技能培訓額外補助金。例如，在 2023年，共有 52萬人參加了新加坡精深技能發展局支持的培訓，其中近一半的培訓費用由僱主資助。
我們鼓勵希望使用500新元額外補助金的個人儘早規劃如何有效使用這筆資金。目前，已有約30,000門與技能相關的課程可供選擇，課程列表可通過 mySkillsFuture 門戶網站獲取。該門戶網站已優化，方便用戶更輕鬆地搜索符合個人興趣和職業目標的課程。此外，個人也可以參考新加坡精深技能發展局發布的就業與技能趨勢，以幫助做出培訓決策。
對於需要個性化指導的個人，可以註冊新加坡精深技能發展局提供的免費技能與培訓諮詢服務。同時，我們也歡迎更多社區夥伴與新加坡精深技能發展局合作，通過本地工作坊和宣傳活動提高公眾對新加坡精深技能發展局額外補助金及合資格課程的認知。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Dr Wan Rizal asked the Minister for Education in view that only 26% of eligible Singaporeans have used their $500 SkillsFuture Credit (SFC) top-up given in 2020, what measures are being implemented to encourage the remaining eligible Singaporeans to utilise their SFC top-up before it expires at the end of 2025.
Mr Chan Chun Sing: The Government provided a one-off SkillsFuture Credit top-up of $500 for eligible Singaporeans in 2020. This top-up will expire by the end of 2025.
As of 26 November 2024, about 26% of eligible Singaporeans have used their one-off top-up. Many individuals have also gone for training, without tapping on SkillsFuture Credit. For example, of the 520,000 individuals who participated in training supported by SkillsFuture Singapore in 2023, almost half were sponsored by their employers.
We encourage individuals who wish to use the $500 top-up to plan how they can utilise it meaningfully. A wide range of around 30,000 skills-related courses are available. The list of courses can be accessed on mySkillsFuture portal, which has been enhanced so users can more easily search for courses that match their interests and career goals. Individuals could also refer to the jobs and skills insights published by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) to guide their training decisions. Those who require more personalised guidance could sign up for SSG's free Skills and Training Advisory services. We also welcome more community partners to work with SSG to raise awareness of SkillsFuture Credit and eligible courses, through local workshops and roadshows.
