Posted on February 27, 2014

SINGAPORE - To help those who have recovered from mental illness secure jobs and reintegrate into society, Kaplan Singapore has worked with the Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH) to introduce a series of courses designed to equip them with the necessary soft-skills.

Fully subsidised by the Singapore Workforce Development Authority, the courses were designed to raise the beneficiaries' self-esteem and confidence, said Kaplan.

Beneficiaries will attend at least three two-day courses that includes classes on how to work as a team and how to develop emotional competence at the workplace. For instance, the courses will teach beneficiaries how to handle stress and anxiety and how to prepare themselves for job interviews.
