February 2003 the M.K.L.C. opened its training Centre doors on a full time basis and provided accredited (LLN) training.
The Centre is able to work with a large number of students because of the contribution made by volunteers.
The program is operating at 60 John Street South where a hive of activity occurs every day. Students undertake a range of programs including small motors, hospitality cooking, poetry, crafts, office skills, thinking skills and computers. These programs are the basis for the delivery of literacy, which is an integral part of the success of the program as students are learning hands on skills while learning reading, writing, oral communication and maths skills. The Centre is empowering students to become confident and to participate in everyday activities.
The accredited training Course is “Course in Adult Literacy and Numeracy” 30369QLD. Students will be enrolled in level one, two or three (students wishing to study level three are advised to attend literacy courses at TAFE as it can lead to a year 10 equivalent) On successful completion of the program, students receive not only the opportunity to develop their literacy skills but also an accredited certificate.
In addition to the literacy programs, the Centre also delivers Volunteer Tutor Programs through Funds secured from the Community Responsive Training Program. This program trains people who have committed to volunteering their time to assisting people who are learning how to read and write. The accredited training program “Course in Volunteer Tutoring” is delivered in a variety of Centres in order to enhance literacy skills in other organisations.
