SINGAPORE – A new initiative is being rolled out for prison inmates that will see them receive training for roles in the food and beverage sector, and secure jobs after their release.
“Like all Singaporeans, these ex-offenders will be able to deepen their skills while building a career,” it added in a release. Aside from being a showcase of culinary skills, the competition was also held to raise awareness on the work programmes and strengthen the relationship between inmates and their families through food, said Yellow Ribbon Singapore.
