A learning center in San Fernando, Pampanga has come up with a clever way to provide jobs for their students with special needs.
The Association for Mental Wellness and Professional Growth Inc. MW Center in Purok 4, Barangay Juliana, City of San Fernando, Pampanga is a non-profit learning center aims to support everyone including individuals, families, professionals, and advocates on their journey toward mental wellness. The center has now 36 students with autism.
They have a special process of hiring students with special needs in the cafe beside it. They will check first if the student is ready for transition on the cafe work including serving coffee, blending coffee and other barista tasks. If they are not ready yet, they will undergo sessions for therapy in the center before they can work in the cafe. And when they got along with people, they can start working already in the cafe.
