Gov’t launches PWD support in Tech4Good initiative

The programme will facilitate inclusive employment in the technology sector.

The Singaporean government has launched the Tech4Good Programme to provide better support for individuals with disabilities (PWDs) in the technology sector and support organisations in their efforts for a more inclusive workplace.

A collaboration between the Tech Talent Assembly (TTAB), a National Trades Union Congress-affiliated association and SG Enable, the programme was launched during the Tech Talent Assembly Awards and Dinner 2024 at the Carlton Hotel.

It will facilitate inclusive employment in the technology sector with two key objectives including training and placement, and advisory services.

“With rapid technological adoption within companies, it is crucial to address the misconceptions surrounding the abilities of PWDs. These outdated perceptions can limit organisations from harnessing the full potential of a diverse workforce,” Benjamin Mah, TTAB’s EXCO member and lead for the Tech4Good Chapter, said.

TTAB has also sought the expertise from partners including SGTech, Korn Ferry, and the President of the Security Association of Singapore to identify mentors to work with companies to offer roles for PWDs.

Additionally, TTAB will assist organisations in identifying transformation projects through the Operation & Technology Roadmap and help organisations access the Company Training Committee Grant, which co-funds up to 70% of project costs.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
