The Youth Pre-employment Training Programme is a programme launched by the
Labour Department. Its main purpose is to provide training for young school
leavers aged 15-19, thereby improving their employability and competitiveness.
In order to support the programme of the Government, the Auxiliary Medical
Service has specifically designed a two-week programme for them. It includes
basic first aid skills, leadership ability, discipline and team building. While
trainings such as basic first aid knowledge, casualty evacuation, knots tying
and skills of the application of walkie-talkie will be provided to the trainees,
they are arranged to learn team building through drills, physical training and
outdoor simulation exercises.
It is hoped that the trainees can learn interpersonal skills and develop a spirit of mutual assistance after completing the programme. Moreover, it is hoped that the programme can help them build up their confidence and develop their sense of responsibility. Finally, after they have learned basic first aid skills, they are capable to help themselves as well as other people when need arises.
In conclusion, we hope that after completing the programme, the youths can effectively utilize the skills they learn and lay a firm foundation for themselves, thereby contributing greatly to the society no matter they decide to further their studies or to work in future.
