HKYWCA was again invited by Project WeCan to co-organise Shape Our Future: WeCan! Programme, to provide an opportunity for more than 4,000 students from over 50 secondary schools to discover and experience various industries.
During the Career Exploration Day, guests from different industries were invited to share their working experience in talk and Human Libraries. Other than guest sharing, the Association’s staff and practitioners of the corresponding industry designed and prepared 52 job tasting sessions to introduce 28 industries, including the skills required by the job, duties and responsibilities, career path, advancement options etc. Students referred to the result of the career and vocational assessment done earlier and chose events that fit their interests. All participants treasured the experience very much as they agreed that they can learn about the actual workplace and skills.
Besides, there were game booths, career consultation, mock job interviews and further studies information booths to help students to better plan their future. They were expected to consolidate their experience from the events and have a better understanding on their talents and interests.
