The new SkillsFuture Level-Up Programme provides greater support for mid-career Singaporeans aged 40 years and above to pursue a substantive skills reboot and stay relevant in a changing economy.
Starting from 1 May 2024, the SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career) top-up of $4,000, which does not expire, can further offset nett course fees for selected courses that have better employability outcomes.
From Academic Year 2025, Singaporeans will qualify for Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy for another publicly-funded full-time Diploma from ITE (Technical/Technical Engineering Diploma), Polytechnics (via Direct Admissions Exercise) and Arts Institutions (NAFA, LASALLE). The list of full-time diplomas and application periods for admission can be found on the institutions’ websites.
These initiatives are introduced on top of the existing Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy (MCES), which covers up to 90% of course fees for courses funded by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG).

From early 2025, a new SkillsFuture Mid-Career Training Allowance will apply for selected full-time, long-form programmes.
The allowance will be based on 50% of one’s average income over the latest available 12-month period, capped at $3,000 a month, for up to 24 months over an individual’s lifetime.
More details will be available in Q4 2024.
