Special needs students are being empowered with the knowledge and skills to transition into the workforce, thanks to SMPK Vokasional Merbok’s Projek School Enterprise Kedai Dobi OKU and Mock House Training Centre.

Funded and supported by Taylor’s College, the school’s practical education initiatives, championed by special needs teacher Kumaresan Muniandy, are aimed at providing job opportunities for his students.
