About
This 13-week course is a research mentoring programme that offers social service professionals an
opportunity to complete a small-scale research project with guidance from experienced researchermentors. Participants in this programme will be supported by workshops, peer group discussions, and regular feedback from mentors. All the workshops, discussions, presentations, and mentoring sessions will be conducted through e-learning platforms. Throughout the programme, social service professionals will be guided from the conceptualisation of the research problem to data collection, data analysis, and presentation of their research findings. This programme is useful for social service professionals who are observing new issues, complexities, and situations faced by clients due to Covid-19 and aim to garner rigorous insights to understand its impacts on their clients.
While the workshops and mentors may provide support on specific research methods or skills, these would tailor towards the needs and requirements of the research projects proposed. The programme strives to provide a holistic guidance and support on the different stages of research for each proposed research project. Mentoring projects with good potential will receive funding opportunities from the Community Foundation of Singapore.
