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.

PAC Report No. 58 – Chapter 3 of Part 4 Youth Square
P.A.C. Report No. 58 – Chapter 3 of Part 4 Youth Square A. Introduction The Audit Commission ("Audit") conducted a review of the Youth Square with focus on the following areas: - operation and performance; - planning and implementation; and - the way forward. 2. According to paragraphs 1.7 to 1.11 of the Director of Audit's Report ("Audit Report"), in his Policy Address of 1998, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region announced that the then Chai Wan Community Centre at Chai Wan Road would be redeveloped into the Hong Kong Centre for Youth Development (renamed as the Youth Square in April 2009) to serve as a focal point for youth development activities in Hong Kong. In March 2005, the Government decided that the Home Affairs Bureau ("HAB") would take up the direct responsibility of managing and operating the Youth Square and would bear all commercial risks arising therefrom. A Management Advisory Committee ("MAC") was set up in January 2009 to advise the Government on the overall strategy, objectives and the operation of the Youth Square. In February 2009, the HAB informed the Panel on Home Affairs ("HA Panel") of the Legislative Council ("LegCo") that it would strive to achieve full-cost recovery by making every effort to operate the Youth Square in a cost-effective manner. 3. In March 2009, through an open tender, the HAB awarded a management and operation contract ("the Contract") for the Youth Square to the only conforming tenderer ("the Contractor"), i.e. the New World Facilities Management Company Limited, for seven years from 23 April 2009 to 22 April 2016 at a sum of $371 million.
