This project won the MOE-NCSS Innovation Award in 2018. With the positive outcome and good feedback received from this pilot project, PCS went further to plan for a scale up of this training to reach out to the Post-18 group of girls who have left special schools and are employable, to offer them a new training / vocational pathway -Educarer Aide Training (ECAT).
PCS believes that with the structured training, the girls will be well-equipped for the early childhood care tasks, enabling them to work and contribute meaningfully at the childcare centres.
