Recipients of the SkillsFuture Lifelong Learning Awards will each receive a monetary award of $1,000. The award will be presented by the polytechnics at their respective graduation ceremonies, with the first group of recipients being honoured at the graduation ceremonies of Nanyang Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Republic Polytechnic today. The list of SkillsFuture Lifelong Learning Awards recipients from the ITE will be announced at ITE’s graduation ceremony at a later date.

Mr Tan Kok Yam, Chief Executive of SkillsFuture Singapore, said: “I commend the recipients of the inaugural SkillsFuture Lifelong Learning Awards, for their dedication to lifelong learning and their commitment to skills development. These awardees are role models who not only embrace the spirit of upskilling, but also inspire others in their workplaces and communities to do the same. We are also thankful to ITE and the polytechnics for this meaningful initiative, and their steadfast support of the SkillsFuture movement.”
