SMU alumna Sabrina Ooi was interviewed for an article on the SkillsFuture Credit scheme. Under the scheme, all Singaporeans aged 25 and above will receive a S$500 SkillsFuture Credit which can be used on top of existing government course subsidies to pay for a wide range of approved skills-related courses. These include courses at polytechnics, universities, private institutes as well as from online platforms. Since the announcement of the scheme, Singaporeans from all walks of life have started to leverage on the scheme to acquire skills to be more competitive in the workforce. Sabrina, who attended a DJ course under the scheme, said she never thought she would one day be a part time DJ, adding that having DJ as a second skill helps make her a more interesting candidate for new opportunities in meeting new people. Most of these courses can be taken part time from local universities and they cost less than S$500.
