Yellow Ribbon Singapore (YRSG) offers accredited training to inmates to integrate them into the digitalising workforce. YRSG refers to Singapore’s Skills Framework and consults Trade Associations and Chambers of Commerce when curating our suite of training programmes for various industry sectors. This framework develops skills and competencies in two categories: generic and job-specific. Inmates are provided with core competencies which include workplace literacy, digital literacy and employability skills. Inmates also receive technical skills training in areas such as food and beverage, logistics, precision engineering and media to enhance their employability and to equip them with the requisite skills to perform various job tasks. The alignment allows ex-offenders to pursue further skills deepening upon release.
Yellow Ribbon Singapore ensures that the skills taught are easily transferable so that they can be applied to a variety of jobs. Generic skills are the essential skills, personal qualities and values that enable inmates to thrive in any workplace, across diverse industries upon release.
Yellow Ribbon Singapore aligns our training with Singapore’s Skills Framework to ensure relevance to the workforce and the global digitalised economy. We provide an array of industry and emerging skills training to inmates. This equips them with the relevant skills to re-join the workforce and deepen their skills after their release.
Ex-offenders are encouraged to continue upskilling themselves before they start their work and inculcate a lifelong learning mindset.
Introduced in 2021, skills training in the community under the Community Based Programme enables inmates and ex-offenders to continuously upgrade their skills and deepen their knowledge in their selected fields. Skills training in the community is conducted alongside other students who are members of public.
