12. Other DOT Programs

Objective:
• Rebuild the women’s confidence by allowing the women to rediscover themselves as an
individual, and feeling confident about stepping out into the workforce
• Allow the women to form a friendship with peers from similar backgrounds and thus
supporting each other in the back to work journey
Format of class:
7 sessions across 7 weeks, each session lasting between 90mins to 120mins.
1. Orientation Session and Peer Group forming

Cost Breakdown

women who are punctual and made effort to particpate and attend all 7 modules. Top Tier
prizes are usually family experiences such as movie tickets that enable the women to spend
quality leisure time with their families to build family cohesion.

15. IT Literacy Program
Program Background:
Many of the women that DOT has been working with have
expressed interest in seeking Administrative/data entry
positions. However they do not possess the IT skills
necessary for those positions.
IT programs currently offered by the Government often
take place over several whole days and require the
women to travel to fixed locations for the classes and seek
alternative care arrangements for their children during
those times.
The DOT IT Literacy workshop serves to provide the
women with bite-size training near their homes to help
bridge that skills gap and give them confidence to future
their knowledge and skills in this sector using their
SkillsFuture credits after the Program.

allowed us to loan the women laptops after the on-site
