Supported Employment Service Centre
Employment Support Service
By offering a range of one-stop and tailor-made integrated services, including counselling, work skills training and job matching, we encourage and assist CSSA recipients to enhance job motivation and ultimately achieve self-reliance. Apart from providing employment counselling and soft skills training in work attainment, the project emphasises developing work habits and enhancing the employability of recipients by encouraging their participation in work exposure services.
Our Aims
The SWD works with NGOs to run the EmSS, helping able-bodied CSSA applicants and recipients overcome
work challenges, improve skills, and find paid jobs quickly through family-based support.
