It is important that ITE graduates pursue diploma programmes that are recognised and meet quality standards and needs of industries, ensuring better career progression prospects after obtaining their diploma qualification.

We started with publicly-funded diplomas issued by MOE-funded institutions, which are held to high quality standards. From 1 June 2025, we will extend the IPA to WSQ diplomas as these are publicly funded diploma qualifications that are aligned to the Skills Framework, subject to quality assurance by SkillsFuture Singapore, and developed to allow individuals to acquire the skills and credentials that would enable them to access good jobs.
