Join
the Youth Employment Network!
Youth employment is an issue for the whole community, not just
social service or special concern groups. According to the latest
Policy Address by the Chief Executive, the Government will extend
the Youth Work Experience and Training Scheme by two years. The
Federation welcomes this proposal and believes that it will lead
to numerous opportunities for collaboration and work between
all the sectors of society, particularly the business community
and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
To address the issue of youth employment, the
Federation established the Youth Employment Network (YEN) in
July 2003. The purpose
of the network is to provide training and support services, which
will enhance the employability of young people. YEN requires
the partnership and involvement of businesses and corporations
in Hong Kong. We need your help, which can be in many forms:
by becoming mentors, by offering youth placements in your organizations
and by offering training and re-training to enhance their employability.
Afford young people the opportunity for practical experience,
which provides encouragement and inspires confidence to meet
market demands. Join our Network ! For more information, please call
Mr. Gary Tang, the Supervisor of Youth Employment at 3113 7999.
