Frequently Asked Questions

JC PROcruit C is a journey of self-exploration traineeship programme, in particular, it provides a different career trajectory for non-professional degree graduates. It allows first-time-job-seekers to understand their values and attitudes. Industry conveners and employers have come together to introduce 16 professions in the area of Creativity, Technology, Business, and Healthcare and offer a “one-year” traineeship programme. 

JC PROcruit C designed a pre-onboarding boot camp on essential workplace skills, including digital literacy, creative problem solving as well as design thinking. It also covers a range of soft skills, such as empathy, social awareness, and innovation to get first-time-job-seekers ready for a new stage in life. In addition, JC PROcruit C's partners are in collaboration to provide continuous training inside and outside workplace, as well as career events and networking occasions for trainees. Trainees will get to build valuable connections with their peers and mentors in the industry.

Despite a grim economic picture, opportunities remain abound in providing communities with human services. JC PROcruit C believes that human-centric skillsets and social innovation for good services will continue to be prized in the new normal. With human-centric professions rapidly emerging in the four sectors, this trend is a springboard for caring and motivated fresh graduates to carve out their own career trajectory in these sectors, i.e. Creativity for Good, Technology for Good, Business for Good, and Healthcare for Good and contribute to a caring society with growing need in holistic community-based care.
