Long-term Career Development and Mobility

Career Facilitation

Skills training is offered to inmates and ex-offenders to equip them with relevant skills to take up jobs upon their release and to facilitate their longer-term career development.

As part of our career facilitation services, Yellow Ribbon Singapore (YRSG) conducts a series of career conversations to help inmates:

Develop greater self-awareness of their strengths
Understand the job types suitable for them based on their strengths and competencies
Plan for their career development
Visualise potential work challenges that they might encounter and how they might overcome these challenges

YRSG will match inmates with jobs, focusing on the job fit between their career aspirations and the requirements of available jobs.

Employers are then invited to attend one-to-one virtual job interviews to assess the suitability of the inmate candidates before making the decision to hire.

Career Retention Support

Yellow Ribbon Singapore (YRSG) provides case management services to help ex-offenders address their work reintegration challenges during the initial 6 to 12 months after their release.

YRSG career coaches serve as a single point of contact and collaborate closely with employers and ex-offenders to resolve any employment related issues and aftercare matters. We work with employers to encourage the adoption of supportive work practices that would help facilitate reintegration and enable ex-offenders to stay gainfully employed.

YRSG career coaches regularly check in with ex-offenders to review and conduct career planning in support of their long-term reintegration back to the community.
