SINGAPORE - People with disabilities will soon be able to get community support and employment closer to their homes, thanks to two new hubs set to open in 2023.
The two hubs were announced by Senior Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Social and Family Development Eric Chua in Parliament on Friday during the debate on MSF’s budget. As for the EBH, it seeks to rally employers to take on persons with disabilities through job coaching and by showcasing inclusive hiring practices, Mr Chua said in reply to MPs such as Ms Rahayu Mahzam , Ms Ng Ling Ling and Miss Rachel Ong . The MPs had asked about how support and training for persons with disabilities is being stepped up.
The hub will also ramp up efforts to reach out to those with disabilities in the community who are not currently served by any social services, through a dedicated outreach group. Through door-to-door engagements, volunteers from the hub will organise home visits for interested participants to better understand the kind of support they need.More interest in hiring people with disabilities in sectors facing manpower crunch
He said that an integral part of efforts to strengthen families and uplift those in need are partners like social service agencies. As such,The National Council of Social Service will also strengthen the volunteer management capabilities of social service agencies to better attract, engage and retain volunteers.
