Our past/on-going projects/programmes:

Work-Advancement Project

Programmes with the aim to support ex-offenders’ in-job experiences and manage workplace obstacles remain scarce. In view of existing gaps, we designed and developed a training-coaching job-support programme to reduce vulnerable population’s barriers to community resources and to support them in their employment. The programme aims to shape participants’ experiences with employment and to build their workplace self-efficacy. Participants of the programme also acquire WSQ certificates and incentives. The pilot programme is currently implemented in the halfway houses and an interim evaluation has been conducted. Read about it online.

Professional Trainings for Practitioners and Volunteers

We provide professional trainings to build capabilities within the social service sector. We deliver both WSQ and non-WSQ trainings as well as work with agencies to customise trainings for their practitioners. We emphasize on experiential-based learning to allow immediate application and real-time coaching and feedback. We are also the main appointed provider of training services for volunteers working within the correctional field.
