Goals
in Life: making the right choice
|
|
Many teenagers have no clear idea of what
they want from life. On the verge of leaving school they
suddenly realise they have a difficult choice to make – to
continue in education or take a job. Again in their 20s they
may have to decide whether to make investments or buy material
goods. At these crossroads in life, the Federation's Youth
Employment network staff can help. They run programmes and
offer counselling, both in schools and on the website.*
|
One such programme is Life
Banking.
It has seminars for secondary students from Form 3 upwards
and there are training sessions for teachers and one-to-one
counselling on employment. Setting goals and making good
choices in life is the focus, so crucial for young people.
There is now a brand new training game called Dream Runner which we look at in this week's Feature
Story. Life Banking has received generous sponsorship from the Hong Kong Jockey
Club in the past and we are now seeking further funding.
