About National Silver Academy (NSA)
The National Silver Academy (NSA) is a network of post-secondary education institutions (PSEIs) (i.e. ITE, polytechnics, universities and arts institutions) and community-based organisations that offer learning opportunities that are subsidised for seniors. Seniors and PRs aged 50 years and above can look forward to attending short courses and bite-sized courses that are exam free. For courses run by community-based organisations, the final fee payable – for both Singaporean and Permanent Resident seniors – takes into account the support given by the government to community-based organisations to develop and offer the short courses.

It offers over 30 courses under the National Silver Academy, most of which are highly subsidised for Singaporeans & Permanent Residents aged 50 and above.

| Objective | 1. Discover the key characteristics of your Best Self – what you are like when you are at your best.
2. Apply your best self to what matters most to you 3. Use Design Thinking to build your Job of Joy 4. When asked “so what do you do?” you are able to state your life’s purpose, meaning & significance. |
| Description | Using a game as a metaphor of life, timewise, the first half is over. With retirement, you face the second half either by Default – continuing to do what you have always been doing – or by Design – applying your Best Self to your Best Work. This course uses design thinking – Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test – to help participants accept the product or service that inspires. It’s a second chance to do what they had dream about but not have the opportunity or courage to pursue until now. |
