SINGAPORE: North West CDC has launched a new employment programme called the
Silver Care Employment @ North West to help seniors reintegrate back into the
workforce.
Currently, about 35 per cent of
residents in the North West District looking for jobs are seniors and about
half of them have expressed interest to work part-time.
Mayor of the North West District,
Dr Teo Ho Pin, said: "We identify suitable employers who are willing to
redesign their jobs for seniors and who are able to provide flexible and part
time jobs, and different work processes where they have identified vacancies
suitable for seniors.
"(What they do is) they work
with the CDCs and the job seekers to allow jobseekers to get some experience as
to what is the actual work environment like and from there, we go through the
job matching and employment."
Some 700 positions will be made
available at the first run of the Silver Care Job Fair on Wednesday.
It will include jobs in the food
and beverage, security and service industries.
North West CDC will hold such job
fairs in every quarter of each year.
It aims to find jobs for 70 per
cent of senior job seekers every year.
