Singapore’s Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) has introduced more than 200 artificial intelligence courses along with new services focused on career and workforce support.
Through the SkillsFuture AI Subscription initiative, individuals can receive complimentary six-month access to selected premium AI tools.
SWDA has also introduced an AI Ready Quiz, developed in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Technology. The quiz is designed to help individuals evaluate their AI readiness and identify courses that may be relevant to them.
Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong officially opened Connect by SWDA at the Lifelong Learning Institute during the launch of SkillsFuture Festival 2026. The new centre brings together the former Lifelong Learning Exploration Centre and Careers Connect.
Connect by SWDA provides personalised career and training assistance for individuals, professional development support for career practitioners, and workforce guidance for employers.
SWDA has also launched OurWorkforce, which replaces the SkillsFuture for Business website. The new portal recommends training and workforce programmes according to business needs and provides digital tools supporting job redesign, business transformation and AI adoption.
The formation of SWDA is intended to bring skills development, workforce transformation and employer support closer together through more integrated services and continued partnerships.
