[WSQ-BCM] SSG Funding: Self-Sponsored

The Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) is a national credential system that trains, develops, assesses and certifies skills and competencies for the workforce.

Read the two tables below for the detailed WSQ-BCM course offering and its specific funding from SSG-based participants from Singapore with WTS, Mid-Career enhanced subsidy, Singapore PRs, and all Singaporeans who are 39 years and below.

As an Approved Training Organisation (ATO), WSQ supports the SkillsFuture movement to:

• Promote recognition of skills and competencies to facilitate progression, mastery and mobility;
• Promote holistic development of the workforce through technical and generic skills and competencies;
• Support economic development by professionalising skills and competencies to drive industry transformation, productivity and innovation efforts; and
• Encourage lifelong learning.

Training programmes developed under the WSQ system are based on skills and competencies validated by employers, unions, and professional bodies.

This process ensures that in-demand skills and competencies are used to inform training and development under WSQ.
