Persons with disabilities can tap on broad-based employment facilitation services, such as job matching and career advisory services provided by Workforce Singapore and NTUC's e2i, said Minister of State for Manpower Gan Siow Huang. Workforce Singapore and NTUC's e2i do not track whether jobseekers assisted have disabilities, she said in reply to an MP’s questions in Parliament on Wednesday (Feb 7). Ms Gan said on average, about 900 job seekers with disabilities were assisted each year by SG Enable’s job placement and job support partners between 2018 and 2022. Each year, about 500 were successfully placed into jobs. More than 80 per cent of them remained in employment for at least six months.
