Goals in Life: making the right choice

Life banking programme

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. Contact Gary Tang, tel 3113 7999 for more information.
