Earlier, the "Youth Development Enterprise Alliance" launched the "Blue Sky Outside the Window - Contact with all walks of life" and "I am useful" youth work experience programs in recent years.

Among them, in response to the students' early summer vacation this year, they contacted the business community to produce an online program to introduce young people to workplace information in various industries through live online broadcasts, so that they can understand the situation in various industries.

Chen Gongweiying, chairman of the Child Development Matching Fund, said that at the peak of the fifth wave of the epidemic, many students living in subdivided housing at the grassroots level were worried about the DSE exam in a cramped environment and could not go out to relax, so they thought of the "blue sky outside the window". name.

"Basically, the mental health of the students is not ideal. They can't see a way out, they can't see their choices, and they can't see the blue sky."

The moderator mentioned that the Chief Executive-designate, Mr. Lee Ka-chiu, proposed in his political platform a pilot scheme to tackle intergenerational poverty, assisting 1,000 junior high school students living in sub-divided housing to strengthen their career planning.

Chen Gongweiying responded that Li Jiachao had never contacted her, and said with a smile, "I haven't had a chance." But when the media reported the news, she was very happy, "It seems that Li Sheng heard the shouts of young people from the grassroots level. ”

But she hopes that Li Jiachao's plan is not a slogan-style initiative, "if you count enough, you should complete it."

She believes that grassroots students have insufficient social capital and inadequate career planning. They may choose the wrong subjects for further study, or even engage in industries that are not suitable for them. From then on, their career path will only be bumpy.
