Employment Transition Coordinator

Key Role in Career Advancement
Daughters Of Tomorrow Limited Registered as a charity under the Charities Act of Singapore, complements and supports existing training and workforce-related agencies by connecting volunteers and community resources to enable each woman on an individual level.

By deep diving into the practical day-to-day constraints of these women, we offer hand-holding and individual coaching to help each woman reach regular and sustained employment.

Our clients are women aged 18 to 63 from low-income families (living on less than $1500 per capita per month), mostly living in government-subsidized rental flats, and facing multiple stressors in their families.

Through sustained employment, women in our program regain confidence in themselves and gain a social support network that helps them through their difficult times.
