MOM said information on eligibility criteria, support levels and eligible programmes is already available on the OurWorkforce portal and will be aligned across GoBusiness and through SWDA's anchor partners (SNEF, SBF) and TACs before 1 Dec 2026. Registered training providers have been informed of the transition from the current SFEC.
