Forty Years and Beyond
In the 40 years since the establishment of SCORE in 1976, through all the
changes in the afercare and employment landscape, SCORE has kept pace
and evolved itself progressively to remain relevant in serving the skills
training and employment needs of ex-ofenders.

As we celebrated our 40 anniversary in 2016, besides refectng on our
milestones and achievements, we have set our sights on the future by
initatng bold projects that would transform the way SCORE helps
ex-ofenders and engages our partners in the next few years.
Delivering On Our Mandate
Our focus is on our mandate and we remain steadfastly commited to rebuilding lives of ex-
ofenders by helping them enhance their employability potental.
We know that employment is a critcal element to an ex-ofender’s successful reintegraton. Every
one of us in SCORE is driven by this belief, and SCORE is dedicated to implementng impactul
programmes and services that will empower ex-ofenders to upskill themselves and get employed.
In 2016, the percentage of inmates who were assisted by SCORE to secure jobs before their release
remains high at 96% and we contnue to enjoy strong support from employers as the number of
employers registered with us crossed the 5,000 mark.
