The Symbiotic Journey of Education and Healthcare for Special Needs
13 Years of Inspiring Journey
Over the years as news of MIJ travelled, the organisation continued to expand rapidly as it gained more recognition, soon seeing an increase in class sizes, programmes and facilities. MIJ Hub had since then relocated to where it is now – 116 Changi Road, and even opened two more branches in Jurong and Woodlands.
It saw the diversifying of its programmes as well, opening weekday lessons and Student Care for both children and adults to hone essential skills and receive specialised education unlike any ever seen.
During this same period, MIJ Hub started its first fundraising events and outreach campaigns, and subsequently received invitations to be featured in national events and conduct programmes overseas. MIJ Hub even successfully branched out into the F&B and retail sector through its entities - Ashraf’s Café and INSPO.
These platforms were created as training grounds for fresh MIJ Hub graduates to further enhance their vocational skills through paid employment. These were later recognised by various government agencies providing assistance and recognition that help to open up more job opportunities for individuals with Special Needs, effectively supporting their independent integration into the workplace.
