Over the past year, we’ve helped over 30 disadvantaged youths with job placements, empowering them to unlock their potential. Brian, Winson, Ka Po… There are many success stories just to name a few.

This year we’re thrilled to announce that we’re rolling out a new programme which raises the mandate to 80 individuals.

Through this programme, 25 youths will be selected from three beneficiaries to each receive a monthly scholarship of HK$5,000 throughout their employment tenure.

This initiative aims not only to incentivise employers to provide stable employment opportunities but also to empower the youth to thrive and make significant contributions to their workplaces.
