The "Noodles for Good" stall was officially launched at Pathlight School Campus 1 on 8 March 2016, Tuesday. A first under Business for Good by Central Singapore Community Development Council, Noodles for Good is about enabling disadvantaged and special needs families to achieve self-reliance through skills training, employability coaching, business and community support. First on board is our cherished partner, Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant. 

Said Ms Denise Phua, mayor of Central Singapore district: "Some special needs individuals are unable to enter the workforce on their own. They typically have to be taken care of by family members, who are in turn unable to be employed due to the nature of being a caregiver."

Central Singapore CDC plans to expand the Business for Good initiative to 50 kiosks offering a variety of cuisines in the next three years. There are also plans to reach out to more community partners, such as schools, where human traffic is high, and corporate partners to provide their expertise.

Family pairs are selected under ARC's Employability and Employment Centre programme, with a structured process of assessment, training, job support and placement. ARC job coaches train parent/guardian and child before the trainees operate on their own.
