Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP) is a training benefit for NTUC members to defray their cost of training. This benefit is to encourage more union members to go for skills upgrading. Union members can tap on to more than 2,800 training courses to enjoy course fee subsidy, capped at a maximum of $250 per year. Under the newly enhanced UTAP funding, NTUC union members aged 40 years and above will get increased funding support from $250 to $500. This will apply from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2022.

 

Be prepared for action and act on it today!
