Life Skills Mentoring, Singapore
The Project
The Phileo team created a bespoke mentorship programme for a social enterprise cafe chain to support the learning needs of their differently-abled staff. With the support of dedicated volunteer mentors who journeyed with them over three months, the employees learned how to better understand their emotions, work as part of a team and manage their personal finances.
The Impact
The programme was thoroughly enjoyed by participants and despite having to be held online, it came at a timely period amidst the uncertainty and lockdowns of the pandemic. Improvements in the skills of the mentees were noted by both mentors and the cafe management and some of the mentees went on to take on additional responsibility in the cafe post the programme.
