In April 2008, Northlight and Home-Fix collaborated to provide practical hands-on retail experiences for Northlight students.The rationale behind this collaboration was to provide an enriching learning experience for these special groups of students in a real life but supportive environment. Our flagship store in Marina Square was chosen to provide real hands- on retail training for the retail operations students on a weekly basis. Northlight students were trained to learn on the different aspects of running a retail store by Home-Fix staff as their guiding mentors.This attachment proved to be an engaging way for the students who learn better in a non-traditional classroom setting. Seeing the star in every child“In Northlight, every child is believed to be special, has talents, aspirations and resilience.We believe that everyone is teachable – that we can forgive their past, work with their present, and hope for their future.”
