Introduction

Different stakeholders such as the family, mentors, government, social welfare organisations, etc. all play a vital role in the career and life planning (CLP) process of the youth. The involvement of business partners is certainly considered very important if we are to successfully promote the career development of youth. We hold fast to the principle of “Work for Youth, Work with Youth, and Work by Youth”. By establishing the collaborative platform with different business partners, we hope to provide young people with work exposure opportunities on various levels, such as workplace visits, job tasting, internship programmes, etc. so that they can develop a better self-understanding, broaden their life experiences, equip themselves with skills, and build up their own identities when exploring and pursuing their career and life goals.
