HYAB JC Scheme for Youth Life Planning (2025-28)

CLAP@JC is committed to collaborating with various Government departments and organisations, aiming to support a paradigm shift in career and life development practices across education, community youth services, and the workplace, thereby smoothing the school-to-work transition. It focuses on supporting young people during critical periods in their developmental journey, helping them build a resilient sense of self and a clear trajectory in life, thus establishing a foundation for a successful future.

In response to the latest youth development initiatives announced in “The Chief Executive’s 2025 Policy Address”, to strengthen support for youth in unleashing their potential, the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau and the Youth Development Commission have jointly launched the enhanced HYAB JC Scheme for Youth Life Planning (the Scheme) to assist secondary school students in realising their life planning and seizing national development opportunities. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust will provide funding support to this round (2025-28) of the Scheme, to provide, with a strategic vision, young people with quality and value-added career and life development activities/services.

The scheme encourages sponsored NGOs and their collaborating schools to incorporate the core elements of CLAP@JC, including the Hong Kong Benchmarks for Career and Life Development© (HKBM©), CV360®, and the Youth Career Development Competency Scale. The scheme aims to support NGOs, in collaboration with secondary schools, in organising various life planning activities to enhance awareness of life planning and multiple pathways among students, parents, teachers, and former students who have graduated/left for less than 6 months, thereby enabling students to seize national development opportunities.
