SkillsFuture Mid-Career Training Allowance

Full-time: 50% of average monthly income (min $300, max $3,000/month). Part-time: $300/month flat rate. Maximum 24 months lifetime.

The SkillsFuture Mid-Career Training Allowance supports eligible mid-career Singaporeans to upskill and reskill by providing training allowance for selected long-form training. It addresses the financial barriers that prevent individuals from pursuing substantial skills upgrading by offering income support during training periods. The scheme supports both full-time and part-time long-form training, allowing individuals to choose the format that best suits their needs. Full-time participants receive income-based allowances (50% of average monthly income, capped at $3,000), while part-time participants receive a flat rate to defray incidental training expenses. From March 2026, the allowance will be extended to part-time training programmes.
