Youth Square 'YS Career Experience Programme'
Youth Square ‘YS Career Experience Programme’ introduces flexible working mode to provide greater autonomy in internship (Hong Kong, 1 April, 2021) COVID-19 turned life upside down, working from home or hybrid working mode is becoming the new normal. When flexibility is increasingly expected to become the new norm, ‘YS Career Experience Programme’ also introduces flexible working arrangements for interns to choose their own working mode. Considering actual working circumstances in different departments, interns can choose whether work in office or spend some time work at home. While providing the flexibility of work, interns will interact with their mentors via virtual meetings regularly. ‘YS Career Experience Programme’ is now open for applications until 16 April. Under the six-week career experience, interns are able to gain experience in various departments from July to August, including Y Loft, Facilities Management Department, Operations Department, Finance Department and Marketing Department etc., to experience and perform a whole spectrum of tasks and projects. During the pandemic, staying positive and looking after mental health have never been more important, thus elements of wellness have also been incorporated into the programme this year. To encourage youth to develop positive thinking and self-management capabilities, programme joiners can make use of their non- working time offering creative proposals to promote mental wellness and positive mindset. Selected interns who are capable of having their excellent ideas executed can have the opportunity to stay at Y Loft in return. Youth Square has been providing a relaxed, reliable and safe environment for youth to explore every possibility of their potentials.
