The Enabling Skills and Competencies Framework was launched in Sep 2024. It maps out the essential skills and competencies for persons with disabilities and their network of support. It seeks to:

• Enable persons with disabilities via skills development and lifelong learning, providing a common skills language for service/training partners to provide relevant training programmes

• Enhance the skills gap analysis of persons with disabilities, ensuring they have the skills required for independent living and employment

• Provide enhanced standards of skills and accommodations for persons with disabilities

• Provide enhanced quality and responsiveness of services and training for persons with disabilities

Training programmes offered by the Enabling Academy support the acquisition of the skills and competencies recommended in the ESCF.

Enabling Academy will also continue to progressively implement the ESCF through strategic partnership, outreach to and capability development of training providers.

Enabling Academy has supported 115 ESCF-aligned courses provided by 40 training providers, benefitting more than 900 persons with disabilities.

51 employers have adopted ESCF through Enabling Mark accreditation. Close to 790 pax have been engaged on the framework with 1,360 downloads of ESCF-related documents.
