Those accepted on the work-study programmes get a sign-on incentive of $5,000.
The SkillsFuture work-study programmes give poly and ITE grads the chance to upgrade to a higher qualification while working in a job role related to their field of study.
The study, which covered WSPostDip and WSCert graduates from the 2018 to 2021 cohorts, found the SkillsFuture WSP has been useful in improving the wage outcomes of poly and ITE graduates. Under the WSP, individuals are placed with employers where they work full time and draw a salary even as they undergo on-the-job training and classroom learning.A key programme under the WSP is the WSPostDip, which is a 12- to 18-month programme that allows polytechnic graduates to obtain an advanced or specialist diploma.
The WSP is typically available to fresh graduates within the first three years of their graduation from polytechnic or ITE for females, and within three years of completing national service for males. Individuals are eligible to take up a WSP only in an area relevant to their prior polytechnic or ITE field of study.
