As two agencies that work very closely with each other, SkillsFuture Singapore and Workforce Singapore have come together to offer the SSG-WSG Joint Undergraduate Scholarship.
Find out more about our scholarship below.
In October 2016, the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) went through a restructuring exercise and was reconstituted into Workforce Singapore Agency (WSG) which continues to come under the Ministry of Manpower. As part of this exercise, a new statutory board under the Ministry of Education, the SkillsFuture Singapore Agency (SSG) was also established.
SkillsFuture Singapore
At SSG, we drive and coordinate the implementation of the national SkillsFuture movement, promote a culture and holistic system of lifelong learning through the pursuit of skills mastery, and strengthen the ecosystem of quality education and training in Singapore.
Workforce Singapore
At WSG, we oversee the transformation of the local workforce and industry to meet ongoing economic challenges. We promote the development, competitiveness, inclusiveness, and employability of all levels of the workforce. This will ensure that all sectors of the economy are supported by a strong, inclusive Singaporean core.

Vincent Wu Zheng Jie, 2014 Scholarship Recipient
“The organisation proactively encourages Teamwork, which is one of our core values. Every member of the team is always ready to extend a helping hand despite their busy schedules. There is also mutual trust among colleagues which inadvertently allows us to see each other not just as co-workers but also, as friends.
We also have a supportive work-life culture, where staff widely adopt flexi-work practices, enabling us to achieve better integration between work and life.”
Chin Ying Lin Olivia, 2013 Scholarship Recipient
“After I was awarded the scholarship, I had the opportunity to take part in a summer exchange programme and an internship with the Institute for Adult Learning. The experience broadened my horizons and allowed me to understand the importance of the organisation’s mission in workforce development and building an effective, innovative and responsive Continuing Education and Training ecosystem.”
Foong Tai Wei, 2009 Scholarship Recipient
“I was given the opportunity to be exposed to cross-divisional projects, as well as posting amongst the divisions to better understand our scope of work from different angles. There were also opportunities to take up further studies through Educational Awards.”
Lee Yue Kai, 2011 Scholarship Recipient
“I was privileged to have a mentor who had guided me as a young graduate. Through his guidance, I was better able to learn and navigate organisational culture and processes. My mentor was a great help when it came to my career plans, work-life balance, time-management and work conflicts – having an experienced eye to guide me along really sped up my personal development.”
