HAZAMI - "Proud & Honoured..."



LOLYTA - "Addictive!"

A "Coach" is a person who instructs, demonstrates, directs, and prompts learners. It involves the process of teaching people how to do something and encouraging them to continue to do it.

In Projek TEKAD,

A "Coach" is a caring professional who is able to facilitate groups, model and evaluate skills and support individualized learning. Coaches work from their hearts, demonstrating with their lives, their growth and through their range of emotions and depth of experience in nurturing and guiding their Champions to be a better person...

A "Coach" develops Champions and are role models, an exemplary leader, a motivator and one who inspires those around them...

A "Champion" is one who strives for success and excellence. In the eyes of the Coach, the Champion is already a winner.

VISION

We are determined to inspire and nurture the young minds of Malaysia to become our nation's capable leaders of tomorrow whilst inculcating a contributing spirit and a volunteerism culture amongst young professionals.

MISSION

• To emphasise the importance of having clear goals and a strong foundation in education
• To stress upon the importance of skills and values
  
• To expose the students to the challenges and opportunities that await them in university and working life
• To stimulate students' interests in Science and English
• To inspire and motivate the students through the sharing of personal hardships, challenges and life experiences
• To encourage young professionals to be involved in community service

A unique element of Projek Tekad is the collaboration between young professionals and undergraduates of Malaysian Universities (2004-2005: Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS & International Islamic University, 2006: Universiti Sains Malaysia & Multimedia University) thus making PROJEK TEKAD the only programme in Malaysia which bridges 3 groups together, namely young professionals, undergraduates and secondary school students all within one single programme.

In the project, volunteers comprising young professionals lead in organising 2 day self-development and motivational programme for secondary school students (Form 4 or Form 5). Young professionals act as a "brother or sister" and a role model to the students in the project. Through sharing of real-life personal experiences, they inculcate positive values in the students while instilling a strong will and confidence to strive for success in life.

The 5 key components of the modules are:

• Goal setting
• Interpersonal skills
• Career guidance
• Importance of English & Science
• Financial Planning
