What is the Skills for Success (SFS) Bursary, and who is eligible?

Skills for Success (SFS) is an initiative designed to help youth secure employment opportunities in a tech profession through Generation’s 3-months intensive training bootcamp.  It exclusively targets youth who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET) or who are employed in low-wage work.

SFS encompasses 2 components:

  • Financial bursary that covers the remaining 5-30% course fee on top of SkillsFuture’s SCTP subsidy
  • Monthly training allowance of $1,000 per month throughout the 3-month training bootcamp.

This financial support scheme is piloted by Generation Singapore with the generous support of our funders and corporate partners.  It runs in conjunction with the SkillsFuture’s SCTP #GetReadySG courses in tech, and only applies to those who fulfil SCTP’s eligibility criteria.
