Providing sewing training and job opportunities for students with special educational needs and their parents
The venture aims to create employment opportunities and foster career development for students with special educational needs (SEN) and their parents through a sewing training programme. In collaboration with SEN schools, it offers in-school training and work experience for students before they graduate. It also provides on-the-job training and necessary equipment for parents, equipping them with skills and enabling them to work flexibly at home while balancing their family responsibilities.
Parent-child workshops will be organised to further enhance the interaction and communication between SEN students and their parents, while creating a platform for families to exchange caregiving insights and encouraging mutual support.
