A MENTORING programme for jobless white-collar workers has worked out so well that its organiser is upping the intake by 50 per cent.
The Northeast Community Development Council (CDC) on Wednesday announced that it will raise the intake of the second run of its mentoring programme to 18.
As part of its programmes to help residents find jobs, the CDC last November launched a six-month programme pairing selected white-collar job seekers with experienced mentors. The mentors, who range from senior business executives to grassroots leaders, will offer the job-hunter advice on his search as well as a sympathetic ear.
The initial run, launched last November, had 12 job-seekers, picked from those who had registered with the CDC asking for help finding work. The 18 selected for the new run will meet their mentors on Wednesday evening at the Safra Tampines clubhouse.
