Why are part-time undergraduate degree programmes at the local universities not included under the enhanced scheme?
As the enhanced WTS targets primarily low-wage workers who earn a monthly income of not more than $2,000, the suite of training programmes included are those that will be more relevant and useful in helping such workers up-skill and secure better-paying jobs.
