Dear member

As we approach the midway mark of 2009, we hope that you are taking care and doing well.

If you are looking to upgrade yourself or are currently looking for a career change, just a little tip for you - the key to getting ahead in your job hunt and career success is to stay relevant and ensure that you have relevant skills as employers today are placing a premium on skills.

Your skills that are important will include your mindset and aptitude, to basic foundational skills, to expert vocational and occupational skills.

The Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) provides a comprehensive range of SPUR (Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience) courses, and if you are a Singaporean or Permanent Resident, you can even enjoy a subsidy of up to 90% of your course fees, plus training allowances (conditions apply). You can find out more here.

Another place where you can upgrade your skill set is at e2i (Employment and Employability Institute). The e2i has a wide range of courses for jobseekers to train and prepare themselves for employment success. Find out more here.

We wish you all the best in your career!
