SkillsFuture is a national movement to provide Singaporeans with the opportunities to develop their fullest potential throughout life. Through this movement, the skills, passion and contributions of every individual will drive Singapore's next phase of development towards an advanced economy and inclusive society.

The Singapore government supports the development of individuals through special funding programmes for approved courses (SkillsFuture Funding) as well by issuing educational credits for qualifying Singaporeans to further offset payments to improve themselves.

26 Courses at JDMIS are now eligible for SkillsFuture!

JDMIS Professional Certificate Courses in various specialisations in jewellery design, fabrication, gemmology, and business can now avail for SkillsFuture Funding (up to 70%) and SkillsFuture credits

Select your choice of jewellery training in the course calendar and use the SkillsFuture calculator on any Course page to determine your exact funding and payable fee

As part of a concerted effort on the part of SkillsFuture Singapore, Workforce Singapore, Enterprise Singapore and the Ministry of Trade and Industry, and with exceptional support from the Singapore Jeweller’s Association and over 50 local jewellery businesses, JDMIS courses are now supported under SkillsFuture Initiatives. These initiatives ensure that the Jewellery Industry in Singapore evolves with the changing economy and technologies and that companies and individuals can always remain up-to-date with the latest skills and knowledge.

Special Thanks

JDMIS extends its thanks to the Singapore Jewellers Association and the many passionate individuals from all agencies, associations and companies who worked tirelessly to achieve this level of support.

On 1 October 2020, the Government provided a one-off SkillsFuture Credit Top-Up of $500 for all eligible Singaporeans aged 25 and above, expiring on 31 December 2025, which can be used to pay for all JDMIS' on-campus Certificate Courses.

Singaporean’s SkillsFuture Credits can be used to pay for the remaining balance of nett tuition fee after taking into account any applicable course fee funding from SSG.
