Subsidised Training for Foreign Domestic Workers

[Peace@Punggol]

Here are the opportunities brought by FAST for FDWs to upgrade their skills. 
FAST is the acronym of Foreign Domestic Worker Association for Skills Training. Formed in Mar 2005, FAST aims to promote training for FDWs.  It provides skills training opportunities for FDWs in Singapore that benefit FDWs and their employers. FAST organizes and subsidizes courses to make training more affordable for FDWs. (Pls see list of courses attached below).

If you have a FDW you can help her to sign up. You can also help us to inform your friends, relatives, neighbours etc about such learning opportunities.
