Community Employment Programme - Inclusive Employment (CEP-IE)

This year, we are happy to welcome APSN onboard CEP-IE, a programme that offers work exposure near homes to Persons With Intellectual Disabilities (PWIDs). CEP-IE empowers PWIDs with training and employment opportunities. Engaging them in roles like gardening or cleaning not only builds their confidence and capabilities for an independent future but also fosters community inclusion. Together with APSN and MINDS – our pioneer partner to the programme, we continue our meaningful journey to create an inclusive community for persons with disabilities.
