In unison to our Group Managing Director & CEO’s call to “give something back” to the community, UMC ServiceMaster began working with Metta Welfare Association, a charitable organisation, to introduce a “Train-the-trainer” programme to the staff of Metta School. After which some of the trainers from Metta School will in turn train the special-needs students, while the others will draw on this skill as part of their job. We hope that it will not only create employment opportunities for the students but also a sense of value for them.
Asrah F.Rahman, Human Resource Development (HRD) Officer from UMC ServiceMaster, conducted a three-day programme from 5-7 September 2005 at Metta School. The programme comprises lectures and a practical session of the organisation’s 7 steps cleaning procedure on the first day, followed by an assessment on the second day. The assessment was conducted by Juraimi Shaharan (Assistant Facility Manager, Alexandra Hospital) who is also a certified NSRS Supervising Assessor. On the last day, the trainees underwent a coaching skills workshop, which provided them a framework on communication and teambuilding.
A certificate presentation ceremony was held at Happy Arts Deli located in Metta HQ on 3 October 2005, to award the trainees who have successfully completed the programme. Distinguished guests included Mr Jackson Yap, our Group Managing Director and CEO, and Venerable Shi Fa Zhao, President of Metta Association.
Mr Ee Tiang Hwee, Deputy Executive Director of Metta Association, gave an opening speech to welcome and thank UMC ServiceMaster for their support and contribution to Metta School. In acknowledgement, Mr Ryan Sun, General Manager of UMC ServiceMaster, said: “We are happy to share with METTA our technical skills and expertise, so as to assist them to start their own training centre.”
