SHKP Joins the Strive and Rise Programme to Support Underprivileged Young People Nurturing young people is important. Therefore, SHKP has joined the HKSAR government’s Strive and Rise programme, which supports secondary students from underprivileged families, boosts their self-confidence and helps them develop positive outlooks. From our departments and subsidiaries, 250 colleagues have volunteered to be mentors to share their experiences and help students with personal development plans. We also provide opportunities in job shadowing, site visits, charitable and community activities and occupational experience, so students can broaden their horizons and foster their personal development. Nurturing Innovation and Startups in the Community SHKP promotes technological advancement by supporting young entrepreneurs. We continued to provide fully equipped office premises for the Hong Kong X-Tech Startup Platform (HKX). Thus far, over 52 businesses have benefited. This year, SHKP and HKX co-hosted student events that focused on the latest technologies. The aim was to link industry experts with our younger generation in Hong Kong, and hence promote entrepreneurship.
