Press Release: NMS CARES TO LAUNCH ITS FREE I.T. PROGRAM IN SEPTEMBER

To further cement partnerships with academic institutions that look after the education of young Deaf individuals of the local community, NMSC has begun to collate information from the schools that could help the team in customizing the organization's IT programs. Using in-house content, the team is set to launch customized and level-specific learning programs derived from the results of the survey questionnaires distributed to the different schools. The statistics gathered from the survey will help NMSC to gauge the IT skill level of the young Deaf learners, which is crucial in ensuring that the kids are categorized correctly and placed under the right program.

"In order for us to be able to deliver our services seamlessly to the community, it is important that we have the right information. There is no best way to ensure that our programs and workshops are spot-on other than getting first-hand information on the learning capacity of our beneficiaries. And that is why partnering and working closely with Deaf schools is crucial." ~ Martin Eyking,during his visit to the different Deaf schools.

While the organization will be provided with its own space where NMSC trainers will conduct both after-school IT programs for the kids and Sign Language Workshops, it has also pledged to set up a computer unit and Internet access in all 5 Deaf schools. 

Specific date of the after-school IT programs and Sign Language Workshops will be announced by the end of the month.
