This change was informed by the result of a survey in which 99% of the students showed willingness to pursue full-time study at CCF.II. Leadership ProgramThe partnership between CCF and Deloitte led to a launch of Growth Program which provides training to CCF students on entrepreneurship and environment sustainability. This 9-week workshop enabled students to learn both theories and challenges in starting business. The workshop ended with students having been able to sell their products to students, staff, community and other external events.III. Career and Life Skills ProgramThe University Education initiatives intended to enhance support for students seeking CLS university assistance and to empower students to make informed choices regarding their education and future careers. The Support Policy Reinforcement was undertaken by providing students with alternative scholarship options and educational pathways, such as vocational training. Moreover, an initiative known as Individual Presentation by chosen university major was undertaken as part of the CLS career counseling flow. This activity was designed to promote the students understanding of their chosen majors and at the same time nurture a sense of responsibility and ownership. Having an as-group and individual major presentation allows the students to better understand their education plans toward career goals/aspirations.IV. Childcare ProgramThere were two initiatives undertaken. First, Extra Class Arrangement for Special Needs Kids at CCF CC3 focused on enhancing literacy, social skills, and independent living abilities for students with disabilities. Key aspects included reading, storytelling, and arts used to improve language and social skills, alongside practical skills such as cooking. Second, Primary Education Readiness Initiative encouraged younger children in library activities to foster interest in reading and enhance social interaction with older students.V. Healthcare ProgramTo make patients less dependent on CCF and overall enhance its financial operations, the CCF Medical Clinic advised patients with affordability and especially when the donated medicines were insufficient, to buy some medicines themselves. By its means, the patients begin taking some responsibility themselves, thinking about changes of their lifestyle that can help in treatment. This change in attitude”
