1. Find home
We help the student who has just arrived in the country to get a house or apartment, we help them with the procedures for connecting electricity, and basic services, we contact them with the necessary agencies or institutions.
2. Detention of domestic violence
At HLC we believe that one of the roots for which domestic violence is allowed is because women are not prepared, do not have economic independence and do not have emotional security, that is why we work hand in hand with different associations to support to women who need it, helping them to look for work, giving them scholarships so that they learn the English language and find better options, helping them to get psychological support through other instances and above all giving them that emotional support to get out of these problems.
3. Placement Agency
In these moments where the whole world is collapsing, it is a priority to have a trained and bi-lingual workforce, as well as trained and prepared employees for job success, that is why our English courses with a duration of 13 months allow people to work in different sectors.
As an Institution we have agreements with different organizations in the private sector, sending them qualified labor and trained employees. We help our students to have the corresponding certifications depending on the job to be selected, and the necessary qualities when a company requests it.
4. Scholarships
We provide scholarships to people who need it, associations that ask us for scholarships for some special cases or people who are going through difficult situations.
5. Support to open bank accounts or any paperwork they need
Many of the people who are in our school have no idea how to get a bank account, where to go to get an ITIN number, they have no idea what to do in case they are fined, all that information that is very valuable to People are embarrassed to ask, that is why we support with workshops and invite people to give these classes to be able to somehow provide information to people.
