Due to systemic and language barriers, many ethnic minority youth are limited to blue-collar work opportunities even if they are well-educated. They are also expected to financially contribute to the family at a young age. This programme offers employment skills training and subsidised work placements across industries that are not typically accessible to disadvantaged young people from Ethnic Minority backgrounds. Primarily targeting those in secondary school students or recent secondary school graduates across Hong Kong, the objectives of this initiative are to introduce a variety of professional and personal development opportunities for this target group, increase their exposure to work experience for the long term, while fulfilling family obligations through subsidised wages.

Your gift will subsidise one day’s wages for a young person.
