CEF will increase to $25,000! Make good use of it to recharge your life
The latest Budget announced that the Continuing Education Fund (CEF) will be increased from $20,000 to $25,000, and the age limit will be abolished. This will allow an additional 760,000 citizens to benefit from the programme. So good news indeed!
Almost any courses you can think of, from tea tasting to feng shui and practical health and wellness to professional qualifications, can be subsidised. Here are some of the popular courses you can choose to recharge your life!
Learn about food and drink to taste the joys and sorrows of life
Did you know that you can taste the aroma of coffee by drinking wine? Even when flowers and fruit are not added to tea, it still has a fragrance of citrus? It turns out that whenever we taste something, the tongue leaves "recallable traces" in our minds that link smells with familiar things, so we feel like entering a sensory paradise.
From a sense of taste to the perceptions of the brain, more and more people have been paying attention to "mindfulness" in recent years. You can understand the value of living in the moment by learning "mindfulness" through Zen, life planning and psychology.
Digital transformation enhances competitiveness
NFT and ArtTech are hot topics in 2022, and many industries are also promoting comprehensive digitalization, so there is definitely more than one aspect of tech! If you can master big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence or any of these tech skills, you can achieve a great deal in a lot of different industries.
A KOL with more than 3 million followers could actually be a product of artificial intelligence? So why not learn the production of digital films or documentaries, as well as the skills to manage creative industries. Or understand more about the development of the multimedia industry, and explore some of the many business opportunities that have sprung up in that sector in recent years.
Learn portable skills and become multinational talent
Eager to work overseas? Learning portable skills such as computer programming can give you a head start in the international job market. Companies from all over the world are thirsty for talent, and some companies have even held extraordinary "recruitment competitions" on TV reality shows to attract applicants with both brains and physical strength.
If you want to make good use of your sporting talent to open the door to a new career, consider becoming a yoga or sports coach, or study sports nutrition, health management, pain management and so on. Those may open a whole new chapter for your career.
