背景資料

Learning Bridge Association (LBA) is a newly setup nonprofit organization with the mission to match SEN youth to corporates and jobs that fit their potential in order to achieve a mutually beneficial arrangement. We also aim to promote workplace and community awareness and inclusion of SEN. We have already successfully matched some SEN individuals with different corporations and gradually building the talent pools as well as corporate partners. Job Coach is going to play an important role to ensure a smooth transition and a satisfactory outcome of the matching with all parties.

對我們的意義

Young adults with SEN such as Autism, SPLD, Dyslexia and ADHD are often socially challenged and confined to a future of low-level jobs. Among the working-age people with SEN in Hong Kong, only just over one-third of them have a certain level of economic income. We believe all SEN individuals deserve more exciting opportunities than their perceived status quo. SEN individuals without suitable jobs have higher possibilities of emotional or psychological instability and could lead to various personal, family and society issues. The role of Job Coach will help to ensure SEN youth have necessary coaching and support during their journey to meaningful adulthood.
