ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR THE YEAR 2011/2012 FOR SUNGAI PETANI INDIAN STUDENTS

MAC

1. EDUCATE & EDUCARE PROGRAMME (E2CARE) & FOLLOW-UP OF TEC 2010

During this one day follow-up programme, the volunteers can choose their kid and follow throughout their education progress till they complete their Form 3 (PMR). (GAPIT will help us to conduct tuition classes with minimal payment). These foster parents have to guide their kids in education and also religious activities. At the end of every month, they have to give the progress report to the committee to check on their development and their gradual progress. Our main intention is to guide these students after the TEC project so that these students can continue progressing in their education till they reach PMR as this will be the platform for them to choose their career near future.

Estimated Expenses : RM1302.00 (84 participants – Food, stationary, files and mineral water)

2. CENTRE FOR CAREER COUNSELING & GUIDANCE (C3G)

Centre for Career Counseling & Guidance (C3G) is a special project designed to provide a wide range of guidance and counseling to students who have taken their SPM in 2010 and is expected to get their results on the 23 of Mac 2011. This program will be conducted on the 26 of Mac 2011 at Subramaniam Temple in Sungai Petani. Flyers to all the secondary schools in Kedah has been distributed through the school Indian teachers and also nationwide announcement has been made by EWRF. The objective of the workshop is to guide students to choose their career based on their SPM results and guide them with their online application. There will also be an Education Fare. Six colleges will be opning their booth. This is a joint venture program with GAPIT. Besides that, we also encourage students between 18 years to 25 years to apply for courses fully sponsored by Government agencies, like IKBN and ILP. EWRF too will help to change the mind set of most Malaysian Indians who think that Skill Training will not give them a good image. We want to let them know that 3/5 of the workforce in Malaysia is skill-related job and the global demand and return for such skills are very high. We help, especially those under achievers and poor economic background with minimum qualification to apply on-line during the C3G programme.

Estimated Expenses : RM1800.00 (60 counselors & volunteers – Food, name card, photostating, Banner, Flyers, A4 papers, stationary & mineral water)
