About The Job

As part of Generation Singapore, the Employability Specialist will join a fast-paced, collaborative team dedicated to creating impact for jobseekers in Singapore. Reporting directly to Employer Partnership and Business Development Lead, and working closely with the Placement Specialist, you are responsible for coaching and employability support activities contributing towards successful placement and retention of GenSG's graduates in gainful employment. In particular, you will be co-leading/supporting the following workstreams:

1. Employability Training and Facilitation
2. Employer Engagement and Event Coordination
3. Coaching and Job Placement Support

Who You’ll Work With

You will be part of Generation: You Employed, Singapore a local charity with a mission to create meaningful career pathways for people facing barriers to employment. We are an affiliate of Generation: You Employed, a global network of non-profit organisations working on a mission to bridge the gap between education and employment systems to prepare, place and support people into meaningful jobs that are otherwise inaccessible. Generation was created in 2014 to help bridge this gap—at speed and scale. Till date, Generation has supported more than 100,000 people of all ages across 18 countries to get into career-launching jobs. Our placement rates are one of the best in the market at nearly 82% of all Generation graduates securing full-time jobs within 90 days from completing the program.

We are able to achieve such outcomes as a result of a robust demand-led methodology to design and deliver profession specific skilling programmes that lead to employment. We’re building proof that this training creates real business outcomes for employers, and lasting career impact for trainees—so everyone has the incentive to invest in skills. Our goal is to help our learners achieve personal and professional success—and fundamentally change their life trajectories. Generation programmes prepare unemployed or underemployed people of all ages for jobs in four sectors: healthcare, technology, retail/sales, and skilled trades.
