To cater to fresh graduates from our Polytechnics and ITE, a SkillsFuture Earn and Learn Programme will be launched in 2015 to give them a head start in their careers.
Under the programme, trainees will undergo structured on-the-job training and mentorship with suitable employers, while they study for an industry recognised qualification.
Both trainees and employers will receive substantial support from the Government. This will be done in a phased approach, eventually covering up to one in three polytechnic and ITE graduates.

To help Singaporeans discover their interests, so that they can choose an educational path not determined just by cut off points, but by informed choices about courses and the career opportunities they lead to, the Government will introduce a series of initiatives, starting from secondary school. These initiatives include:
(i) Developing a professional core of Education and Career Counsellors, for our schools and Institutes of Higher Learning, as well as scaling up career counselling services at WDA for our working individuals.
(ii) Improving internships in our Institutes of Higher Learning to make them more structured and meaningful, with more opportunities for international exposure.

SkillsFuture creates a new environment for lifelong learning, which is critical to Singapore’s future, as it will develop the skills and mastery needed to take our economy to the next level. More fundamentally, it will empower every Singaporean to chart their own journey in life and gain fulfilment at work and even in their senior years.
