What is the SkillsFuture Career Transition Programme?
The SkillsFuture Career Transition Programme (SCTP) is a government initiative in Singapore designed to assist mid-career individuals in acquiring new skills and knowledge to facilitate a career transition. This programme is geared towards individuals who wish to switch industries or occupations due to changes in the job market, technological advancements, or personal career goals.
Here are some key features and components of the SkillsFuture Career Transition Programme:
Skills Upgrading: The SCTP provides funding and support for mid-career individuals to undergo training and upskilling in new areas, helping them acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for their chosen career transition.
Financial Support: Participants in the SCTP can receive financial assistance in the form of course fee subsidies and training allowances to ease the financial burden of making a career switch.
Coaching and Mentorship: Participants in the SCTP will receive coaching and mentorship in building a portfolio through a capstone project. This will help participants to increase their employability.
Career Guidance: The programme also provides career advisory services and guidance to help individuals get placed in job roles, such as interview preparation, resume tips and more.

Andie Jumaat
“Enrolling in the Specialist Diploma Programme at ASK Training has been a transformative experience. As someone with no prior background, no interest in digital media marketing let alone any social media account, I went through the entire marketing module, learning from scratch. This journey taught me an important lesson: knowledge is something we must actively seek out and apply.
ASK Training truly stands out with its strong administrative support team (Belinda and crew) and a wealth of experienced trainers (Benjamin, Raymond, Tylus to name a few) who offer invaluable knowledge. Their commitment to delivering quality education and services is evident throughout the program.
Overall, ASK Training’s dedication to empowering learners with practical skills and expert guidance has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. I am confident that the lessons l’ve learned here will continue to serve me well in the future.”

It gave me a solid foundation in key areas, making me more confident in planning and managing digital marketing, not just executing it. The comfortable classrooms and tea breaks were a nice bonus!”
