Daring to Dream…
The Pandemic has not only had a devasting impact on the health and wellbeing of people, but it has also severely impacted the employment and employability of young people. There is still a way for young people to dream about economic sustainability.
With generous support from The Partnership Fund for the Disadvantaged and King's Flair Development Limited, the Federation is launching the Dare to Dream - Young Startup Support Scheme. This Scheme, in partnership with industry and business, offers not only a series of business training workshops, business execution plans and entrepreneurial skills transfers to participants, but also a maximum of HK$50,000 as one-off seed money to those who qualify.
This is part of the Federation's commitment to encourage young people to be innovative and resourceful. Through this programme, the young entrepreneurs-to-be will receive professional help in areas such as, startup brand building, financial planning, strategic digital marketing, business pitching and more. Upon completion of the trainings, participants will be matched with mentors who will provide professional advice for their business plans and assist in ironing out the wrinkles. Shortlisted participants will receive the seed funding to kick-start their business plans in the last stage of the programme, along with one-year regular guidance and support.
Young people aged between 18 and 35, especially those from low-income families, the recently unemployed, or those with special education needs, are encouraged to take advantage of this startup programme.
Dreams are for everyone. Come and join us in helping the young dare to dream!
