Custom Solutions and Training Workshops: How Nonprofits Can Increase Productivity at No Cost

Emphasizing the need to upskill in today’s digital economy, Bernard Nee, Vice President of Industry and Community at SIT, says: “In the social services sector, technology can help create a more effective, accessible and inclusive environment. Digital transformation goes beyond new technologies: it is about making our services more people-centric, data-driven and sustainable. At SIT, we pride ourselves on offering programs that help meet the changing demands of adult learners, impacting both individuals and the industry.”

Those working in the non-profit sector and wishing to register for the program will receive additional financial support from Singapore Pools to cover the remaining amount after deducting funding from the SSG course fee. This support from Singapore Pools is provided for up to two people per organisation.

Lam Chee Weng, CEO of Singapore Pools, highlighted the importance of empowering non-profit organizations so they can thrive.

“Through our collaborative efforts with various partners, we have seen substantial improvements in efficiency and productivity across the nonprofit sector. The success stories shared by the Bone Marrow Donor Program and *Scape are a testament to the benefits of Singapore Pools Academy’s training programs. As we continue to expand our offerings and partnerships, we remain committed to driving positive change and fostering continued growth within the nonprofit sector,” he says.

Also new is a series of care delivery and management skills courses, jointly organized by SSG and the Integrated Care Agency. Both new offerings aim to address the growing demand for critical skills needed for operational or customer service work.

Through these collaborations, Ms Goh hopes that more organizations outside the non-profit sector will be encouraged to create a virtuous cycle of personal development and self-efficacy in communities through their giving: “Partnering with others allows for diverse options and learning opportunities. We hope that more organizations come together to share their experience like us and together we can be aggregators of good.”
