Share
The Group values education and encourages life-long learning to keep pace with evolving trends. To support the growth and development of young people, especially those with financial challenges, SHKP actively participates in activities and has also launched a number of initiatives.
Scholarships
Believing in the power of education to shape future leaders, the Group provides financial support for higher education. Key initiatives include the SHKP x PolyU Building Homes with Heart Scholarship Programme, a collaboration with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the SHKP-Kwoks’ Foundation/CUHK – Local Students Scholarships, offered through the SHKP-Kwoks’ Foundation in partnership with The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The Foundation also establishes scholarships at over 20 universities in the mainland to support outstanding students with financial difficulties in completing their four-year undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Furthermore, SHKP offers scholarships to children of its staff to help them achieve their higher education aspirations.
Supporting Underprivileged Students Through the Strive and Rise Programme
SHKP has been a strategic partner of the government’s Strive and Rise Programme since its launch in 2022. Each year, more than 200 staff members sign up as mentors. These mentors work with young mentees to develop and implement personal development plans, empowering them to reach their full potential and broaden their horizons.
Supporting Youth Internship and Employment Programmes
The Group demonstrates its commitment to youth development by actively supporting internship and employment programme. This includes the government’s Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme, which SHKP was the first participating property developers. Participants receive initial training in Hong Kong and then work in diverse roles at SHKP offices throughout the Greater Bay Area.
Moreover, the Group collaborates with the government’s Scheme on Corporate Summer Internship on the Mainland and Overseas, providing internship opportunities in SHKP mall leasing and promotion teams. Internship programmes are also offered through SHKP’s construction division Sanfield and its property management companies, Kai Shing and Hong Yip, to provide insights into workplace dynamics and facilitate the building of professional connections.
