NCMP Andre Low expressed worries about SkillsFuture offering too many choices without clear career progression pathways. He proposed the Ministry of Education take steps to address this, including updating the Career & Skills Passport, setting targets for micro-credentials, and annual progress reporting.
In parliament on Monday , NCMP Andre Low reiterated his concern about SkillsFuture becoming a “supermarket of choices” - plenty of choice, but no clear ladder to climb towards better career outcomes. He asked the Ministry of Education to take three steps to deter this, including evolving the Career & Skills Passport into a “dynamic living credential”, as well as setting explicit targets for Institutes of Higher Learning micro-credential offerings in fast-moving sectors, and to report progress against those targets annually.
