Created and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the ten-year Trust-initiated Project CLAP@JC is Hong Kong’s first support platform on career and life development (CLD), aiming to foster a sustainable ecosystem by bringing together the education, business, and community sectors to smoothen the transition from school to work for all youth. The project encourages youth to “LIVE DIFFERENT, LIVE FULL” and maximise their endless potential through setting sail to a unique life journey.

CLAP@JC has successfully engaged with 100,000 students, 30,000 NEET, 3,700 employers and has trained over 13,000 teachers and social workers. Building on the experience gained and benchmarking against global CLD-driven practices, CLAP@JC has formulated a localised framework for career and life development “CLAP HK Benchmarks”, which is now being adopted by one-third of secondary schools in Hong Kong. In community and workplace, the CLD-driven intervention has been promoted in over 115 mainstream youth services units and pre-employment trainings, empowering the younger generation to achieve meaningful lives and aspire to make positive contributions to society.
