In line with the greater demands of adapting to work in a knowledge-based economy, the former Education Sub-Committee has been renamed to WorkLife Development Sub-Committee for greater relevancy in year 2003.

The new name reflects a more focused objective for training and continuous education activities in HWA to encompass not only skills upgrading and enhancement, or hard-skills of a trade, but also emphasis on work preparation activities like training in soft-skills (eg. communication and resume writing) and internship or placements. All these activities will hopefully be a more complete support system to gear members towards employment.



HWA's Computer Centre was set up in 1996. Together with some external course providers, like  JE Computer& Education Centre and volunteer instructors, it runs various IT related courses. The Centre can accommodate a class size of 15 and is designed with spacious aisles within to allow easy movement of the disabled, especially those using wheelchairs. There are also assistive devices available to help members with severe disabilities to learn and to benefit from IT knowledge.
