The impending expiry of S$500 SkillsFuture Credit has driven high demand for holiday-themed short courses, with many offerings fully booked. For the first time, NAFA’s Centre for Lifelong Education introduced 10 festive workshops including stained-glass decorations and card-making. Director Dr Jeffrey Tan noted that all 16 sessions were fully subscribed, with about 90% of participants using the SkillsFuture Credit. He also said NAFA plans to expand its short-course roster in 2026 with Lunar New Year-themed classes in floristry, calligraphy and ink painting, reflecting strong community interest in creative lifelong learning.
