These are special programmes and workshops at Simei Care centre (a project of SACS) meant for the training and equipping of our clients with the necessary skills and preparing them for re-entry into the workforce.

1. Transitional Employment Program
TEP is designed to prepare our clients for re-entry into the work-force. This is done by working out with employers to provide temporary work for our clients. The clients are carefully assessed for their suitability before being selected for placement. Every effort is made to ensure that the participants are able to function well in their jobs.

2. Certificate of Office Skills (SCC)
SACS is the first voluntary welfare organization to achieve the status of an approved ITE training centre for the Certificate in Office Skills (COS) course. The first batch of students started in September, 1999.
It is hoped that this will be one avenue whereby our clients can learn and be developed to their fullest potential.

3. On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program 
SACS is also a certified OJT centre by the Institute of Technical Education. Our clients are put through various OJT training modules for administrative, cleaning, gardening or cafeteria services by our rehabilitation staff who are trained as OJT instructors.

4. Creative Art Workshops (SCC)
We have dedicated volunteers who come to conduct art lesson. The clients are given art lessons and learn to express themselves through their drawings. It is an effective form of therapy, by itself.

5. Self-Help Group
Members of a self-help group, will gather for a meal on occassional basis. After dinner, they would spend some time interacting, sharing and going through some materials which explore the issues of recovery from psychiatric disability. 

6. Latchkey Service (SGP)
While the parents go out to work, St. George's Place provide a latchkey service for the children within the centre. The children are placed in the care of trained teachers who supervise their learning and play. Volunteer tuition teachers also help school-going students with their schoolwork. Special programmes are organized for the children during the school holidays.

7. Thrift Shop
Named 'Something Old Something New', this is a clothes and crafts thrift shop located at St. George's Place. It was set up with the help volunteers with two objectives in mind. Firstly, to provide jobs and training for clients and secondly to help raise funds for the operating costs of the crisis shelter. Since then  another thrift shop had also been set up at the Simei Care Centre.

Clients are trained to sew crafts like perfume sachets, tissue holders, cushion covers and wine covers for sale in the shops. Other items for sale include donations-in-kind from the general public. 

Please contact us for any of the following matters:

• Employment opportunities
• Donation items that can be sold in our thrift shop
• Any other queries, feedback or suggestions
