We aim to enhance the local community by assisting Chinese speaking people, both refugees and immigrants throughout Greater Manchester to integrate and access different opportunities, thus enabling them to participate fully in the society.
In Manchester, The Manchester Chinese Centre has a successful track record of working with local residents by providing various Chinese and ESOL English language and NVQ courses. Our adult education is aim to improve lifestyle of new immigrates to achieve this by bringing together a diverse range of learning opportunities from Child care to interpreting course, as well as providing them with local authority sign post information, employment news and advice through our centre.
Chinese languages are not part of the National Curriculum in the UK therefore they are not taught in local schools. However, they are frequently used within Shopping Centres, Hotels and in business and tourism sectors which are areas we seek to help our students gain employment as well as within the education sector.
The Manchester Chinese Centre has worked closely with the WEA (Adult Education) resulting in a “Retail Business Diploma” similar to the programme Manchester Airport provides. This has been a success as we now have 22 students who achieved a high standard, resulting in achieving job interviews and moving towards employment.
2015 -2016 WEA and MCC have trained 100s “Community Interpreting” Level 1-2 work for NHS across Greater Manchester. 16 learners gained “Child learning development” Level 1. The Training Brokers and MCC trained 16 Child Care Nursery Nurse, Level 2-3 and Leadership Management Level 2. All learners ready gained employment across Manchester. Now, we are ready to expend our work in Day Nursery- Dragon Heart Pre-school.
In 2015, MCC was the Winner of Adult Education, presented by Mayor of Manchester.
