HONG KONG, March 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Youth Square's 'YS Career Experience Programme' for this year embraces the theme of 'Career Values in Actions! YS Teenfluencer', guiding the emerging workforce of Gen Z through diverse work fields and actively engaging them in various activities at Youth Square. This initiative not only fosters personal growth among youth but also contributes to the broader spectrum of youth development. Youth are also encouraged to extend career values beyond workplaces to the community. Empowered by their talents, youth are motivated to leverage their influence as 'Teenfluencers' to spread positive energy.

'YS Career Experience Programme' is now open for applications until 19 March. Under the eight-week career experience from June to August, interns can gain working experience in different departments at Youth Square. Leveraging on the venues and hostel at Youth Square, interns will actively participate in daily work from different departments, as well as getting benefits of understanding different aspects such as venue management, hostel management and marketing through cross-function projects. The programme enables interns to identify multiple skills and interests, which help them to establish a suitable way for their own development, together with a positive work attitude and expand career horizons.

Youth Square has been providing a relaxed, reliable and safe environment for youth to explore every possibility of their potentials. Through organizing 'YS Career Experience Programme' every year, we hope to provide internship opportunities for youth, helping them to experience workplace life early on and choose a career path that suits their abilities, interests, and qualities.
