Academic & Lifeskills Coaching Programme Coach (ALCP)

What is ALCP?

• In 2010, Yayasan MENDAKI piloted the ALCP to address the high attrition rate of Malay/Muslim students at the Institute of Technical Education (ITEs).

• ALCP provides academic and emotional support to ensure that students remain motivated, complete their ITE education and hopefully, further their studies in the polytechnics or private institutions.

• This programme is targeted at selected Malay/Muslim ITE students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.
