Providing apprenticeship and job opportunities in home refitting and repair work for persons recovered from mental illness and ex-offenders

This venture will provide persons recovered from mental illness and ex-offenders with relevant training to help them become qualified electrical technicians and craftsmen under the Qualifications Framework, thus enhancing their competitiveness in the job market and chances of integration into the society.

During the training period, the trainees will offer small-scale home refitting services to the elderly or persons with disabilities (PWDs). Service recipients will be eligible for reduced service rates if having financial difficulties.
