The Youth Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong organized the first Youth Entrepreneurship Project this year, with the purpose of establishing platforms and channels to help Hong Kong youth enter the workplace.
Zhang Guojun, vice chairman of the DAB, said earlier that under the double impact of the amendments and the epidemic, it is more necessary for young people to equip themselves, and the Youth Entrepreneurship Plan will help young people to cope with future challenges.
The program accepts registration from now until 12:00 noon on June 3rd.
It's a rare experience to be troubled by the boss during the internship
The Youth DAB has organized local and Mainland internship programs for many years, providing young people with many internship opportunities.
Zhang Guojun pointed out that the current society often refers to raising the next generation to "win at the starting line." The next generation of middle-class families may have more opportunities for development because their parents have more resources.
Relatively speaking, some young people from grassroots families seem to lack opportunities for the upper class, because they have a relatively narrow range of daily contact during school hours, and they are often confused about the future career development path, and their parents are also limited by their knowledge. May not be able to provide practical advice.
The youth entrepreneurship program this time allows young students to have the opportunity to intern at some well-known large companies. In addition to learning work skills, they can also understand the operation of the workplace and obtain the latest first-hand information about the industry from their bosses and colleagues. , And understand the future development prospects of the industry, these are precious opportunities, not knowledge that can be read from books.
Zhang Guojun laughed and said, "Eating meals with colleagues and getting a few words from the boss is the most rare practical experience for young people, because this is the case in the real workplace.
Zhang Guojun, Member of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council, pointed out that internship opportunities may be future job opportunities after graduation.
In fact, many outstanding interns in the past have the opportunity to be hired by the previous internship institutions after graduation.
Because the internship period of several months is enough for employers to understand the work abilities and attitudes of interns. Compared with hiring through general recruitment procedures, they can have a deeper understanding of candidates, so they are often willing to hire interns with outstanding performance.
Zhang Guojun believes that many job opportunities are introduced to each other through acquaintances and former colleagues. Because the short time of seeing a job, it is not as thorough as the experience of working together, so he reminds interns to do so during the internship. Try your best to do a good job, because the company where you are intern may be the company you work for after graduation.
And this time the Youth Innovation Program provides more than 150 internship positions. Internship companies include listed companies, large Chinese-funded institutions and public institutions, covering finance, banking, real estate, engineering, communications, retail, political groups and other industries.
The Youth Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong has organized local internship programs for many years so that young people can understand the workplace culture early and prepare for job hunting after graduation.
Hong Kong society is now in a period of great change. How can young people find a way out in competition?
The Vice Chairman of the DAB, Zhou Haoding, said that "Hong Kong is currently suffering from the turmoil of legislative amendments and the epidemic, and the economy has been hit hard. It is not easy for young people to join the society during this period and have to face more challenges." Zhou Haoding also pointed out. In addition to providing internship positions, the Youth Future Plan also provides a series of training and lectures. In the early stage of the internship, different training classes will be provided, such as job search skills training classes, lectures on new developments in Hong Kong finance, lectures on economic development in the Mainland, and exchanges on youth development prospects. Such activities allow young people to equip themselves and understand the development trends and prospects of Hong Kong and the country.
"Young people need a platform for them to understand the direction of development, focusing on developing their own areas of advantage to cope with the increasingly fierce social competition. Internship experience is very important. Early work experience is more important, so you can better understand what you are doing. need."
Zhou Haoding, vice chairman of the DAB, said that the employment development of young people in the north will bring them new opportunities.
Mainland China's rapid development of youth employment opportunities northward
Regarding the follow-up training of the plan, Zhou Haoding said that the youth employment development in the north will bring them new opportunities. "In response to the gradual stabilization of the epidemic, the Youth Innovation Project hopes to lead young people to the Greater Bay Area and other provinces and cities after the summer internship period. Experience the development of the country firsthand and understand the country’s prospects in different areas of development, allowing Hong Kong youths to grasp the general direction of the country’s development, determine the future direction, and provide Hong Kong youths with an additional job option. Those who choose to stay in Hong Kong, choose to develop in Hong Kong, It is also possible to understand the development of the country, so as to grasp the employment orientation that is beneficial to oneself, including the employment opportunities that Hong Kong will generate in the future in accordance with the 14th Five-Year Plan."
