SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)
The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) aims to encourage employers to undertake enterprise and workforce transformation initiatives. It provides additional support, over and above existing schemes, to eligible employers for their enterprise and workforce transformation efforts. Eligible employers receive a one-off credit of S$10,000 per entity to cover up to 90% of out-of-pocket expenses on qualifying costs. The SFEC was originally announced in Budget 2020 and expanded in Budget 2022. As announced in Budget 2025, the current SFEC has been further extended and a redesigned SFEC is being introduced under the Enterprise Workforce Transformation Package (EWTP), which launched from March 2026. Under the redesigned scheme, qualifying companies receive a fresh $10,000 credit.
