Social Programmes

To build up your confidence, emotional resilience and self belief, we incorporate emotional training into our social programmes. Boosting your EQ will quickly help you become more independent and a better team-player. Acquiring these soft skills and coping mechanisms will also be beneficial beyond work, and especially in times of stress.

Want to be Bettr at the game? Then learn from the best. As a world-class professional academy, you can expect a holistic syllabus that will not only impart technical skills in coffee, but also help you with mental training and developing self-discipline. You will receive accredited qualifications, giving you an edge over the rest in interviews.

In addition, you’ll be surrounded by industry experts and award-winning F&B professionals, and colleagues and mentors who want to see you succeed.

A good dose of physical training is part of our social programmes, because we believe healthier bodies are inextricably linked with healthier minds. You'll be exposed to  a range of physical activities including yoga, hiking, and rock climbing. By encouraging socialisation, teamwork and fostering camaraderie, we think you can grow speedily into a Bettr you.

Your paid internship will allow you to explore an exciting career in the F&B industry. With your newly-acquired skillset, qualifications and EQ training, you'll certainly open up doors upon graduating from our social programmes. 

There are two key differences between our two flagship programmes. Firstly, the duration for HT is 20 weeks, whereas BWT is typically around 10 weeks. Secondly, HT accepts a wider age group of learners, while BWT is specifically designed to be youth-focused between 15 and 26 years old. 

Note: We'll assign you into the programme that best suits your needs and situation upon enrolment.

To be considered, potential learners will need to be:

• Referred by e-mail to Bettr by teachers, social workers, counsellors, or professionals working directly with a potential student
  
• Individuals from marginalised communities (e.g. those from low-income households, with mental health conditions, currently on probation, school dropouts, single parents).

Feel free to e-mail us at social@bettr.group to check on your eligibility.

The Bettr Work Training (BWT) programme is fully subsidised; students are not required to pay any fees.

The Bettr Holistic Training (HT) programme requires students to pay a nominal registration fee of S$300. The nominal fee can be paid in parts and may be flexible to ensure it is manageable for the student (e.g. $100 per month for 3 months upon the start of their work experience phase). The rest of the programme fees worth S$6,700 are subsidised.

Yes, in the first 5 weeks of "Training Phase", learners will receive a daily stipend. In the following "Work Phase", they will be provided a remuneration depending on which performance track they are placed in.

HT: Week 1 to Week 20  |  BWT: Week 1 to Week 10

¹The total stipend of $500 is disbursed daily, based on attendance and punctuality to training.

² Based on performance during the Training phase, students will be placed into one of the two tracks, which will have different financial support.

Here at Bettr, we believe a well-rounded support in the potential student’s life is critical. Should any challenges occur at home, within, or outside the programme, we will work closely with you (as their referrers) to support the potential student in successfully completing the programme.

Yes, but there will be a penalty fee of $7,000 for mid-programme withdrawals. This amount is the value of the full programme fees, which the student will be responsible for paying if they fail to meet attendance requirements or withdraw midway. This condition is in place to encourage commitment and accountability.
