🌟 A huge thank you to the Apollo Opportunity Foundation (AOF) and their volunteers for supporting our "Junior Data Engineering Program" through hosting the mock interviews preparation session for our learners. The session began with three quick tips for interview success: addressing typos, researching the company, and making a strong first impression. These skills are crucial for increasing the chances of getting hired. Our learners, initially struggling with building confidence as first-time job seekers, are now recognizing their competitiveness midway through the pre-employment training program. The rigorous course, which simulates a real work environment and includes employability essentials, has supported them in gaining confidence for job applications and motivating them to learn. We can’t wait to see their transformation by the end of the program. 🚀 Interested in collaborating by offering internships to our future data engineers?

About us
Generation is a global non-profit youth employment organization founded by McKinsey & Company. It was born from a study that looked at 150 employment programs in 25 countries and surveyed 17,000+ employers, students, and education providers, identifying gaps in existing offerings and the most effective approaches to fill them. Generation encompasses a seven-step approach, with a 4-12-week boot camp-style training that integrates technical, behavioral, and mindset skills. By focusing on repeated practice of the most important activities for a role - what Generation calls “breakdown moments” - the program prepares graduates to perform well from day one on the job. In Hong Kong, Generation seeks to address the two-sided talent mismatch, supporting youth and SEN youth aged 18-29, and mid-career changers. We specifically seek to bridge talent mismatch and challenge the societal perception that grades and level of education as the major screening factor for hiring entry level employees. Generation Hong Kong aims to: • Coach Hong Kong’s next generation & mid-career changers to equip them with skills to shape their own future. There is no such thing as the wrong choice; we help them to switch careers without a high commitment in time and cost when they are still carving out their unique path. • Provide scenario-based training and repeated practice so that they can hit the ground running from day one. Generation work closely with employers from various sectors to develop curriculum that is relevant for both the geography and the industry. • Challenge the societal perception that grades and education level should be the major screening factors in hiring entry-level employees. We have collaborated with like-minded employers and are continuously on the lookout for more employers to join us in addressing this challenge to relax the academic criteria and identify innovative approaches to hire the talent they want and need.

🌟 We were honored to have Virender Bedi, Head of Digital and Client & Product Solutions (CPS) Technology, to host an AI industry sharing session at the Apollo Opportunity Foundation hosted event. Virender shared invaluable and enlightening insights on AI with our Junior Data Engineering learners and Generation Hong Kong alumni, discussing the logic and considerations in applying AI to enhance productivity in a corporate lens. 🚀 Our learners, who are first-time job seekers, were keen to learn from Virender for advice to become a better data engineer. Virender highlighted that CURIOSITY🔎 is crucial, and it all starts with asking questions and continuously learning on upcoming tech trends. He also discussed the balance between AI and human decision-making, noting that while AI supports decision-making, it can't yet replace human creativity and holistic thinking. 🤝 If you have insights to share with our future generation, we invite you to explore partnership opportunities with us.

🌟 A heartfelt thank you to the Apollo Opportunity Foundation (AOF) and their volunteers for supporting the "Junior Data Engineering Program" as part of their Apollo Communities Together (ACT) campaign in Hong Kong! The pre-employment training bootcamp empowers first-time job seekers with the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the tech industry. 🚀 We were honored to visit AOF's office, where their Human Capital and Investment team led insightful professional development sessions on "Keys to Success in a Corporate World" and a career-coaching Q&A. During the breakout session, 17 dedicated AOF volunteers engaged in meaningful discussions with our learners, addressing their fears of landing a tech job as fresh juniors in the tech field and providing invaluable advice and encouragement. 💪 Our learners, initially feeling doubtful and anxious at their career crossroads, left the event inspired and more ready to embark on their professional journeys. 🌈 Interested in partnering with us to help young people reach their full potential?
