We are glad BCA introduced the WTU Scheme because it has helped defray our training budget quite substantially. This has made it easy for us to send more workers for upgrading which allow us to gain more savings on levy.
– Mrs Sarah Tham, Associate Director, DLE M&E Pte Ltd
With funding support from the WTU Scheme, we feel encouraged to send more workers for further upgrading because it will not over-strain our training budget.
