The “Life Buddies” Mentoring Scheme launches the first-ever “Be a Government Official for a Day”programme. The programme, to be held this July and August, will offer the opportunity for selected students to shadow a Principal Official on the job for a day to gain hands-on experience of a Principal Official’s work and a better understanding of the Government’s operation. It also aims at providing Principal Officials with a chance to share with students their working experience while learning about students’goals and listening to their views and suggestions on different policy issues and Hong Kong’s future development. The job shadowing process will also help inspire students to develop positive values, adopt multi-perspective thinking, strive to realise their potential in full and seize opportunities for upward mobility. The three Secretaries of Departments and 13 Directors of Bureaux of this term of Government will participate in the programme. Application is now open to secondary 4 or 5 students in the 2017/18 academic year.
