SBS Transit is the first employer to hire interns under this programme.
Engineering student Nur Arfa Taqiah Mohamad Noor Azhar is one of the first four students benefitting from the Enabling Pathway Programme.
The Institute of Technical Education student is based in the signalling department of the bus and rail operator’s North East Line Component Service Centre at the Sengkang Rail Depot. Those in the EPP will receive career guidance, including information to help them choose a relevant course of study, and job-matching with participating employers for internships and career opportunities.
The company now employs about 30 persons with disabilities, including those who assist passengers at bus interchanges and MRT stations. It designs work “around their abilities, rather than limiting the scope because of their disabilities”, Mr Sim said. “Our businesses, community groups, families and individuals – all of us can play a role to create a more inclusive environment, where as many persons with disabilities as possible can take on meaningful job roles and contribute fully to our society,” Mr Chee said.
