  • RE: SkillsFuture + anything related to upskilling/learning something new!

    @sharonkhoo I think that really says something about our learning culture, that β€œjust for fun” is not quite the expectation!

    But in our fam, and with my networks, we do a lot of β€œjust for fun” stuff πŸ™‚

  • RE: SkillsFuture + anything related to upskilling/learning something new!

    @sharonkhoo I did a quick search as I was curious, and this fashion upcycling course also bundles in photography and e-commerce πŸ˜†

    https://www.sirs.edu.sg/courses/sustainability/sustainability-ecommerce-business-for-companies

    Other places that are dedicated to DIY fashion (and possible upcycling) seem pricey!

    https://www.fashionmakerspace.com/collections/wsq-skillsfuture-sewing-classes

    Will update if I spot any friends going for such workshops!

  • RE: SkillsFuture + anything related to upskilling/learning something new!

    Just to update on my specialist diploma learning journey β€”Β I’m in the final month of my course, which began late last year!

    Mine is a counselling-related course, and I felt that it was β€œeasier” to grasp concepts, compared to a STEM course. When I did a STEM-related course, a lot of time was spent watching other videos on YouTube by other lecturers, in order to really understand what was being taught. (For example, when I did a stats module, I watched a lot of the full-length lectures on this channel: https://www.youtube.com/professorleonard)

    This being said, we still had to put in a lot of effort for this counselling course, to do our essays and q&a interviews to walk through our work, as well as mock counselling sessions.

    For anything at degree or post-grad level, it would probably require even more energy and commitment!

    Would love to hear from other parents who are doing diploma/degree courses currently, especially while working full-time or part-time! What made you choose your course, and what do you hope to do with what you’ve gained, once you graduate?

  • RE: SkillsFuture + anything related to upskilling/learning something new!

    @sharonkhoo I have a friend who gave us sewing lessons a long time ago! At the time, our project was a kid’s hat!

    What have you tried to make?
