Singapore is to inject a further SGD 12.6m ($9.5m) into cadet training under an agreement between maritime unions and the government.
The funding, provided by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), and Singapore Maritime Officers’ Union (SMOU) will provide continued resources for the Tripartite Nautical and Engineering Training Award (TNTA & TETA) programs.
The three-year funding commences this year and aims to groom a pool of 200 Singaporeans to become deck and marine engineer officers.
