In late 2003, the Social Welfare Department announced that two sheltered workshops will be outsourced. The Association successfully bidded for the operation of the Workshop in Lek Yuen, and officially took over in April 2004. The transferred centre was reformed into an Integrated Vocational Rehabilitation Service Centre (IVRSC) to comply with the new policy of the Social Welfare Department. The IVRSC provides both a sheltered workshop and supported employment under one roof. It facilitates the internal upward mobility of sheltered workshop users to use our supported employment services before looking for a job in the open employment market. The centre also provides a safety net for fallback users by giving them the chance to get re-trained, thus lessening the worry of the parents. We named our service unit ‘Tiptop Training Centre’, which reflects the Association’s target to operate a training centre with a tip-top quality of service.

Our centre provides one-stop vocational training services for people with disabilities including assessment, training, job placement and onsite follow-up. We also provide other support services such as parents’ meetings, social skills training and recreational activities. Eventually, we aim at “fully realizing the talent” of our service users.
