Singapore Encourages Mid-Aged Employees To Upskill

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just a futuristic concept—it's already shaping industries today, demanding skill updates for workers across the board.

Singapore is ahead of the curve, launching a subsidy scheme for individuals aged 40 and above to upgrade their skills, covering up to 90 per cent of fees for full-time diploma courses.

Tan Wu Meng, Member of Parliament, emphasises the importance of intergenerational learning, stating that what people learned in their youth may no longer apply in their 40s.

This initiative aims to bridge the gap between older and younger workers, enriching educational experiences and fostering collaboration.

Singapore's commitment to AI development is evident in its investment of over $1 billion in computing, talent and industry over the next five years under the National AI Strategy (NIAS) 2.0.
