Finding work when you have a disability in Malaysia isn't just hard, the system often isn't built for you.
Limited opportunities. No clear pathway. Little support once you're in.
BridgeCareers exists to change that! practically, not just in theory.

A 3-month apprenticeship that gives you real work experience, 5 days of hands-on skills training in customer engagement or digital marketing, a monthly allowance, and a support team with you throughout.

We're taking in 15 participants. If you or someone you know is ready, click the link to apply https://form.typeform.com/to/Ccrtn95h
