SINGAPORE - Under a new initiative promoting inclusivity in the workplace and society, the security services provider, Certis, has hired two people with disabilities as call centre operators.
All trainees will learn how to use assistive technology such as tactile guides, mobility and hearing aids that can support people with disabilities, among other skills. Certis will also be donating $20,000 to SPD to support the charity amid tough times because of the Covid-19 pandemic. "This is a very meaningful job and I can contribute to society instead of staying at home," said Mr Loo, who suffered a stroke in 2017 that affected the left side of his body. While he has mostly recovered, the fine motion of his fingers are still affected.
"I hope there will be more opportunities for other persons with disabilities to have jobs," she added.
