For job seekers who have not been working for some time, this work experience can provide them the platform to refresh their skills. North East CDC will continue to work with the job seekers and assist them in their job search concurrently during this period.

In working with various community partners in the North East district – such as Grassroots Organisations (GROs), Community Clubs and Residents’ Committees – job opportunities are provided to job seekers/needy residents, especially those who are long-term unemployed, with a form of working experience and also some allowance.

20 OTHER GROUND Free Business Advice for SMEs in the Heartlands ENGAGEMENT Supported by SPRING Singapore, the Enterprise Development Centre@North East is a collaboration between the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (ASME) and the North East (CDC). The Enterprise Development Centre@North East was launched on 18 June 2012 by Mr Teo Ser Luck, Mayor of North East District.

The EDC@NorthEast, a satellite of the EDC@ASME, aims to assist small businesses in the North East District by making it more convenient for them to seek help (including access to government assistance schemes). The services provided are mostly targeted at smaller SMEs.

The EDC@NorthEast is located at the North East Community Development Council.

“Small businesses such as heartland shops, stalls, etc are an integral part of our community.

Through this initiative, we hope to create a collaborative framework through which we can help local merchants understand and tap on various government schemes, as well as matchmake job seekers with small businesses looking for manpower through our Job Placement Centres. This increases the employment opportunities within the district, and has the added benefit of reducing travelling time and cost. It is a win-win situation for both businesses looking to fill job vacancies and residents seeking employment,” said Mr Teo Ser Luck, Mayor, North East District.
