Job Support & Retention Programme

About

Many homeless individuals and low income families desire work but have multiple barriers to overcome before they are able to gain – let alone sustain – employment. Due to personal and systemic factors, many of them are isolated from our fast-paced and competitive job market due to gaps in their skillsets or lack of relevant work experience.

In families with only one breadwinner, the lack of long-term employment with sustainable wages causes the welfare of their family members and children to be affected detrimentally. Oftentimes, social mobility does not improve across generations and many find it a huge challenge to break out of the cycle of poverty.

In order to address the barriers preventing beneficiaries from attaining long-term employment, we developed the Job Support & Retention Programme in partnership with the Singapore Business Federation Foundation.

The Programme acts as a bridge between employers and clients by providing clients from New Hope CS and other social service agencies with job matching and skills training services.

Our team also actively conducts outreach initiatives for potential partner employers, and networking sessions for employers. We hosted the very first Empower Circles session in 2020. Aimed at connecting hiring organisations and businesses with social service agencies, these sessions involve sharing resources and knowledge on the best practices for employers in engaging beneficiaries.
