Incorporating Class 4 licence driving courses under the SkillsFuture framework

Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr Kwek Hian Chuan Henry, Kebun Baru SMC

Question

To ask the Minister for Education whether the Ministry will consider incorporating the Class 4 licence driving courses under the SkillsFuture framework which will facilitate mid-career Singaporeans to transit into transportation drivers amidst the current labour shortage due to border restrictions.

Response

We recognise that Class 4 driving licences are a regulatory requirement before individuals can take on jobs that involve the driving of certain heavy motor vehicles. Given this clear employment-related outcome, SkillsFuture Singapore would be prepared to support courses related to attaining Class 4 driving licences.
