It’s quite usual for ex-offenders to encounter discrimination when reintegrating into society after prison, especially when they seek jobs. “Sobakery” is a social enterprise under SRACP, with an aim to provide on-the-job training and job opportunities to ex-offenders and underprivileged people, helping them rebuild their confidence.
Ah Shing is an ex-offender who has been working in the “Sobakery” for almost five years. Although, in the beginning, he was not interested in baking, his colleagues helped and encouraged him adapting the new environment. Now, he has become passionate and responsible, and never be late for work or leave early. Earlier on, TVB Pearl “Pear Magazine” arranged an interview with Mr. Ken Ngan (“Sobakery” Operations Manager) and Ah Shing, sharing the difficulties faced by rehabilitated persons in job hunting, and how they work together to operate “Sobakery” better.
