It helps them choose the right kind of job that matches their individual characteristics through personality assessments and career assessment tests. Students go home happy and pleased at being able to identify their potential career options and a clearer pathway.

This one-stop centre also offers tele-counselling services for students and young adults alike. Tele-counselling plays an important role especially in providing immediate counselling, support and information for individuals. This service is predominantly handled by trained personnel and volunteers, and is supervised by experienced professionals so as to ensure a more effective delivery of quality service to the community.

Youth projects such as the Adventure Camps, Fun Educational Seminars, Study Tours, Sports, Cultural Programmes and many others, act as a more productive alternative to that distract students from engaging in unhealthy activities. These projects are carried out in unique ways using methods that are designed to attract the participants into being actively involved. Through these innovative programmes, the participants are empowered to think positively and be progressive-minded.
Towards Becoming a Progressive Community
EWRF has often emphasised the fact that education plays a very important and crucial role in the upward movement of our community. It is only through education that we can emerge from our cocoon of complacency and the negative shadow that seems to have engulfed our community. We have to break free from the social stigma that we have been in and, emerge as a progressive and successful community. For that, we need to empower our youths and the younger generation into appreciating and participating in intellectual pursuits. Education is the answer to the eradication of poverty, social illness and hopelessness. It is our only solution for a better career and a better life and a better future!
