What is the Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP)?
UTAP is a training benefit for NTUC members to defray their cost of training. This benefit is to encourage more NTUC members to go for skills upgrading.
NTUC members enjoy 50% unfunded course fee support for up to $250 each year for courses supported under UTAP. NTUC members aged 40 and above will get higher funding support of $500.
How to apply?
Submit your application when you have completed your training for one of our UTAP-supported courses (listed above).
- Log in to the U Portal account to submit your application. Have these documents handy:
