Is there anyway to pick up industry skills without having to fork out too much? Been trying to look for affordable online courses to upgrade my skills but most are quite expensive. Any advice?

Hello! :) Alternatively, you may also check out some of the ICT courses that GICT offers. They are mainly in the fields of AI/Machine Learning (AI/ML), Big Data/Data Science, Business Analytics, Cloud Computing, IoT and Blockchain.

Hello! Its great that you are looking to pick up industry skills to upgrade, especially in light of the economy now. The great news is that the Singapore government has several schemes to help citizens upskill now.

You can check Smartcademy out. They offer courses on in-demand tech skills which are conducted in real-time by industry experts. Furthermore, Smartcademy is an approved course provider under IMDA's CITREP+ Program, where eligible Singaporeans/PRs are able to apply for claims on course fees up to 90%.
