Our Skills Development Programme equips visually impaired clients with essential vocational skills and workplace knowledge to enhance their employability and support independent living. Clients undergo computer literacy training, enabling them to use digital tools and the Internet with proficiency comparable to that of sighted individuals.
In addition, clients receive telemarketing training, allowing them to promote products and services effectively through the Association’s telemarketing facilities — offering meaningful employment opportunities and valuable work experience.

SAVH’s Placement Officers work closely with employers and visually impaired clients to understand job requirements and workplace environments, ensuring suitable job matches are made. Once potential candidates are identified, interviews are arranged with the respective employers. After successful placement, the Placement Officers provide ongoing support to help clients transition smoothly into their new roles and work settings. This includes Orientation and Mobility (O&M) training, which equips visually impaired individuals with the skills and confidence to travel safely and independently between home, work, and within the community.
For more information on hiring visually impaired clients or for any enquiries, please contact us at 62514331 (ext 501 or 502) or email enquiries@savh.org.sg.
