Education Minister Ong Ye Kung has said that more than 90 per cent of SkillsFuture credit claims that people have made are work-related.
In particular, Singaporeans have shown interest in courses that are related to information and communications technology.
On the other hand, older Singaporeans may use their SkillsFuture credits for lifestyle-related courses like learning a language, flower arrangement or baking.
Mr Ong, who was speaking to reporters during training sessions at the NTUC LearningHub, said the additional SkillsFuture top-ups announced recently will help Singaporeans to continue learning even after leaving formal education.
Singaporeans are also taking more ownership of their learning and identifying what skills they want to learn, he said.
