Plans for FY2015

From our stakeholder engagement, we have identified transition support for employment of vulnerable youth with disabilities – from school to work – as a gap in today’s Singapore social sector. We will therefore embark on supporting and training this segment for gainful employment in Singapore. While this is a new initiative, it is a natural extension of our ongoing help for young people with special needs.

We also plan to move up the value chain of staff volunteering from general to skilled volunteering. This will allow our people to contribute and bring value to the recipients and beneficiaries based on their own skillsets and competencies, such as ICT, marketing or legal knowledge. We will look for opportunities and collaborate with partners who will benefit from our pool of skilled volunteers.
