One of my proudest moments in serving!
Singapore’s National Library Board is not just one of the best libraries in the world. It is a leading inclusive employer as well.
For more than 10 YEARS now, NLB has partnered Autism Resource Centre (where I volunteer as chair) in hiring staff on the spectrum in jobs in digital services and library engagement support; using a structured assessment, training and coaching system we set up.
Not just 1 staff hired but almost 30 of them (29, to be exact). Real jobs. Not out of pity.
Thank you to the NLB led by CE Ng Cher Pong - for inspiring many of us to not give up and persevere to ensure as many as possible are included in the workforce.
