Overview
Enabling Business Hubs bring training and employment opportunities for persons with disabilities closer to their homes. Developed by SG Enable, EBHs support persons with disabilities through customised job support and a structured work environment with inclusive practices.
With an on-site Employment Support Team, persons with disabilities can look forward to a comprehensive suite of employment-related services such as vocational assessment, training, job-matching and post-placement job support. These services aim to better match persons with disabilities to jobs in the region based on their skills and interests and support them in employment.
The EBHs also have Centres for Inclusive Employment for employers which act as one-stop hubs for industry-specific training and employment facilitation. EBHs will showcase inclusive practices to employers and encourage them to implement these practices at their own workplaces.
