Programme Introduction




1. A Skills Development Levy is required by law under the Skill Development Levy Act .The levy collected is channeled into the Skills Development Fund, which is used by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) to incentivise employers to send their workers for training.

2. Incentives are offered on the basis of a cost-sharing principle and the training must be relevant to the economic development of Singapore.

3. The Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment (ACTA) is a certification programme for trainers under the Training WSQ Framework. ACTA will provide training professionals with the essential skills and knowledge to design and deliver appropriate competency based training and assessment. WDA has also developed the Singapore Employability Skills System (ESS) to address specific training needs of the workforce segments through continued education and training.

4. Due to overwhelming response from the 1st and 2nd briefing on 4 Sep and 2 Oct 2007, and for those who have earlier missed the briefing, SNEF has invited speakers from WDA once again to give employers an overview of the SDF and an introduction to training assistance available to employers.
