What is SkillsFuture?
SkillsFuture is a national movement that encourages lifelong learning and skills upgrading among Singaporeans. The SkillsFuture Series curates short, industry-relevant training programmes to help individuals and enterprises upskill, reskill, and adapt to changing job requirements.
At SIM, we offer courses across all categories of the SkillsFuture Series, which focus on emerging and in-demand skills in Singapore's economic growth pillars: the Care Economy, the Digital Economy, the Green Economy, and Industry 4.0.
