bro, I also did a specialist diploma in behavioural psychology, from NUS. 

 

how did u get involved with CDAC?  volunteer basis or part time or full time?  i'm keen to do something similar.

 

 

there are many group that you can choose to volunteer with, like CDAC, SG Care, Touch, Fei Yue, etc. all on volunteer basis and no obligation. However you can commit to a regular program that suit your timing.

 

i was trying out a few many years back until i settle down with CDAC, join few of their regulars events like Back to school, distribute rice, workshop/dialogue, and joined their befriended program which they provide training in certain topic which will lead you to some projects when they call for volunteers. 

 

You can just sign up online and check on their program that you are interested in.

SkillsFuture is a good funding source for your self-development. But the question is how to get the job that you trained for...

 

If you are an unemployed (< 6 months) Singaporean/PR PMET, you can qualify for 98% training grant (This does not touch your SkillsFuture) by the Employment & Employability Institute. The course is $699 but you co-pay $15 only. 

 

I run a career training school that teaches professionals the fine points of job search & attraction. We have been running this program for 2 years now with hundreds of paying customers. 

 

We are very honored to be now endorsed and funded by e2i. 

 

If you are keen to be considered for the funding, please PM me for more details. 

 

Our next class is on May 13th and SEATS ARE VERY LIMITED. Classes are conducted once a month only. 

 

Do share with your friends who might need help...

 

Cheers..

you can try fei yue or touch community, they offer diploma courses in counselling. but I believe the fee is more than $500.

 

you can later join them in their social work in various areas.

 

I was thinking what about ppl like me .... who do not want to go for training or learn other stuffs ?? then the skillsfuture credit will just be wasted .... although it will not expire ...

 

whist not put it to better use if I can be allowed to transfer it to a family member so they can better make use of it ?

You are probably right. That's testimony of the government's skill in securing their future.

This is really all FULL CASH Payment

 

--------

 

SINGAPORE - A jobless man who helped his sister and brother-in-law launder and hide part of the proceeds of their $40 million SkillsFuture scam - the largest case of a government agency being defrauded - was sentenced to five years and eight months' jail on Tuesday (Nov 27).

 

Lee Chi Wai, 30, had helped squirrel away $6.7 million in cash and 11kg of gold valued at $626,500 at his Sengkang flat.

 

He also used $282,500 to buy 5kg of gold and asked his sister for a $30,000 loan to buy a car for himself.

 

Lee is the first of five people charged in court over the scam last year to be sentenced.

 

The cases against his sister Lee Lai Leng, 40, her husband Ng Cheng Kwee, 42, the Lee siblings' mother Tan Yoon Nooi, 60, and Ng's friend David Lim Wee Hong, 40, are pending.

 

Ng is alleged to be the mastermind of the scam which netted nearly $40 million in fake claims from SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), a government agency that gives out grants and funding for lifelong training.

 

Between May and October last year, the syndicate used a network of nine business entities - three training providers and six applicant entities - to submit 8,386 fraudulent course fee grant applications and a corresponding 8,391 claims to SSG.

 

The applications and claims were submitted on the basis that training courses were purportedly provided by the three training providers to about 25,000 employees of the six applicant entities.

 

As a result, SSG disbursed $39.9 million in course fee subsidies.
