Perspective

We take a wider perspective on work, including both paid and unpaid work situated in a wide spectrum of formal and informal settings ——

Examples include but not restricted to, gainful employment; work trial without employment relationship; work exposure programmes such as job interview tasting, skills exchange, placement, internship, and work mentorship; volunteer work of different kinds and many other forms of unrecognized informal work such as serious leisure, carer work, etc.

This expanded notion does not deny the importance of work and its positive inclusionary impact on both individual and community levels, but it helps further unpack the complexity of work in an ever changing society like Hong Kong.

This can help shed light on broadening the horizon of career and life planning and generating innovations inspired by the our principles of “live a better life with increased physical health, a strong reliable personality, able to enjoy life, and clear, open and understanding mind.”.
