Private university UniSIM has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with social enterprise Project Dignity to provide hawkers who have gone through practical culinary training the chance to read university level courses at UniSIM. The academic knowledge will give them an advantage when they enter the F&B industry.
These courses, which are currently funded up to 55 per cent by the Government, include subjects such as financial management, supply chain control, human resources or customer relations.
Project Dignity’s WSQ course has seen 1,000 able-bodied and 350 disabled participants since it started in 2013.
