For me, being able to work has helped me to be meaningfully occupied, thus giving me a sense of fulfilment. I can also be more financially independent. I also get to interact with people.
Qin Min has shown more awareness of his responsibilities and is more mature now. He is better able to manage his time. He keeps track of his morning routine independently, such as waking up on his own by setting his alarm, having his breakfast and taking a short rest before he heads out for work. He has shared with me that he was very pleased that he was able to meet his work targets. The supportive work environment has helped him a lot too.
The E2C programme has given me opportunities to explore my career options and learn new skills to find employment. Working at Professor Brawn for the past several months has been fulfilling. I learned new hard and soft skills that I could apply in my daily life and in future work environments. It is a stepping block to better myself and I hope to achieve my full potential by applying what I've learned at future work environments.
