The Centre does its best to place its graduates. Centre is an example of a government-operated facility. Started by Kaohsiung Municipal Government seven years ago, the Centre serves clients referred from the local social and medical agencies. Six hundred and fifty-seven students, ranging in age from 15 to 40, had already graduated. Courses are provided in computerised sewing, computer word processing, leather engraving, tailoring, dress-making and repair of electronic appliances.
Classes are limited to about fifteen students each.
Training is free and students qualify for workman's insurance while at the Centre. Their interests and functional skills are first tested before placement in a training class. Students arrive at the Centre on their own or by special lift-equipped buses. The Centre does its best to arrange placement for graduates and approximately two-third of recent graduates have found jobs. It was founded in 1971 by some Maryknoll Sisters.
