Pre-Vocational Programmes
The programmes center around helping students become more independent in different environments, such as at home, work and school.
Pusat Ehsan believes in the importance of students being able to meet their potential by not being restricted by their dependence on others and pushes this idea forward by teaching students personal developmental skills, like how to communicate and socialize with others as well as how to manage themselves independently. Functional academics such as reading, writing and numeracy are also taught.
Vocational Programmes
This training programme that will enable individuals with disabilities to transition into certain roles within the public and private sector.
The vocational programme is split into two categories: in house employment, which focuses on skills in handicrafts and organic farming; and outside employment, which helps prepare them for occupations within the service industry.
Only 56 persons with disabilities are currently employed, out of the 9,282 individuals registered with the ministry
