II) SDF Funding Program ( Information Worker Series)

Through the WDA Skills Development Fund (SDF) under the Employer-based funding, employers can enjoy subsidies as high as 90% for staff training costs though the subsidy may differ for various courses. The subsidy rate significantly reduces the training costs for employers.

Employer-based funding is available for 3 types of training:

Certifiable Skills Training, which refers to training that leads to national or industry-wide certification. Non-certifiable Skills Training, which refers to training that does not lead to national or industry-wide certification. Overseas Training, which are training programmes conducted outside Singapore, Malaysia or Indonesia. NetAssist offers courses under the Non-certifiable Skills Training programs. Check out our approved courses at SkillsConnect portal.
