WDA CET Qualification Award

I was alerted by one of our training candidate today on:

CET Qualification Award (CQA) from WDA
http://app2.wda.gov.sg/web/contents/Contents.aspx?ContId=1215

What is it?

"The new CET Qualification Award (CQA) aims to encourage workers, who are Singapore Citizens, to attain full qualifications that will equip them with a more comprehensive skills set.

This will be especially beneficial for those who may have missed out on formal qualifications, those seeking a career change or those for which a formal qualification is beneficial to their career progression or job search.

From 1 March 2011, Singaporeans who successfully complete and are awarded a subsidised part-time Diploma at the Polytechnics or a WSQ Diploma/Specialist Diploma for the first time will be eligible for a CET Qualification Award (CQA) of $1,000.

Singaporeans who successfully complete and are awarded a WSQ Certificate/Higher Certificate/Advanced Certificate or a part-time NITEC/Higher NITEC for the first time will also be eligible for a CET Qualification Award (CQA) of $200. "

For LAS WSQ candidates who completed all the 5 modules under Level 2 training and obtained a WDA Higher Certificate in Library and Information Services (HCLIS) after 1 March 2011, may write to WDA and ask for more details on CET Qualification Award (CQA).

If you get $200, it is something additional for your income. I think this incentive may motivate many support staff to sign up for all modules as their hard work in completing the course do add dollars and cents to their pockets!

Cheers!
