Organisations with disabled staff were commended today for their support to the disadvantaged.
Officiating at the Talent-Wise Employment Charter & Inclusive Organisations Recognition Scheme award presentation ceremony, Secretary for Labour & Welfare Stephen Sui said the Government will continue its multi-pronged approach to equipping the disabled for employment.
He added an additional $100 million will be injected into the Enhancing Employment of People with Disabilities through Small Enterprise project.
So far, more than 540 organisations have joined the scheme.
Mr Sui presented the Friendly Employment Award to organisations which employ people with disabilities or promote their employment to business partners.
He also presented the Outstanding Mentor Award, which recognises inclusive organisations’ mentors for helping the disabled cope with job difficulties.
Launched in 2013, the scheme mobilises various sectors in the community to create more internship and employment opportunities for the disabled.
