A Society for All.
TomoWork envisions a society where equitable employment for all is a norm.
To leverage on diversity in the workplace, TomoWork has been working closely with our valuable partners to build an inclusive learning environment where Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) & Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) could explore and sharpen their talents to better prepare for the Future of Work.








Our Mission
Achieving equitable employment & training opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (PWD) and Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
What We Do
Having a diverse workforce is now a business necessity, but unlocking the hidden potential of such a workforce has its challenges. By empowering Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) & Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) to fully demonstrate their skills, TomoWork aims to bring the differently-abled community, private & public sectors together to tackle these challenges.
We have designed & delivered several high-impact programmes to equip the community with critical professional experience & the right skills to achieve gainful employment. Not only embarking on a journey of greater self-discovery, our participants also build a strong support system to motivate each other & channel positive energy to overcome adversities. Since our commencement in late 2019, we have grown our diverse community to more than 100 graduates.
