Introduction


Elementary Putonghua Certificate Course at
Phoenix Clubhouse

  • Even though the majority of our members have already attained a certain level of education, their schooling or jobs had been interrupted by their illness. The current education system caters to mainstream students, hence is not suitable for our members who, due to lack of self-confidence after a lengthy absence, find it difficult to adjust to the learning environment and the curriculum.

  • In addition, more and more jobs have minimum educational requirement or require particular.

  • Employers in our society increasingly require certain levels of education or certificate from their employees. Besides, achievements in education such as high school certificates would give members a strong sense of personal satisfaction. 

  • Because of this, Phoenix Clubhouse’s Supported Education program tries to assist members in realizing their aspirations, attaining their vocational and educational goals, and obtaining a more abundant life in the community by continuing their education, which was earlier interrupted by their illness.

  • In 2005, our Supported Education Program served 30 members who enrolled in vocational programs in the community and 2 members in degree courses in University.

  • Provides counseling and support services to members including but not limited to those who are attending secondary school, post-secondary education programs or other vocational programs.

  • Assists members in school admission by obtaining course information from different educational institutes, teaching interview skills, helping in the choice of courses, filling in application forms, tutoring, finding financial assistance, and one on one support.

  • Encourage  members be  tutors for other members who need  help with school work on a one on one basis.
