First piloted in the hospitality sector last year, the programme will expand to five more industries from the second half of this year: food and beverage, logistics, information and communications technology, healthcare, and human resources and administration.<\/p>\n
SG Enable expects to train and support 800 PWDs through the programme between 2026 and 2030.<\/p>\n
Efforts are also being made to reduce training costs and make mainstream courses more accessible to PWDs.<\/p>\n
SG Enable will extend its 95 per cent Course Fee Grant to PWDs enrolling in eligible mainstream training courses, expanding the subsidy beyond SG Enable-supported courses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means more persons with disabilities can upskill alongside their peers, without cost as a barrier,\u201d Dr Syed Harun said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, an adult educator capability development framework will be introduced to help educators supporting CET build skills in areas such as disability awareness and delivering accessible training.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Training providers will also receive support through a capability development grant to equip their educators, improve their learning environments and adapt course materials for learners with disabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Syed Harun said building a lifelong support system for PWDs \u2013 spanning their school years, further education and employment \u2013 would require a collective effort from caregivers, employers, training and service providers, as well as the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n
\u201cInclusion certainly does not happen by accident \u2013 it begins with the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to learn, to grow, to contribute, and the conviction to turn that belief into action, regardless of where they start or how their journey unfolds,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
