Eighteen members of Project Osmond attended a career talk jointly organised by the Regional Crime Prevention Office of Kowloon East (RCPO KE) and Hong Kong Ocean Park on August 29. The talk aimed at helping the teenagers broaden their horizons and understand more about their career inclination.

 

Project Osmond, launched by the Juvenile Protection Section (JPS) of RCPO KE last year, aims at helping the teenagers supervised under Superintendent's Discretion Scheme to regain confidence and set correct values through various activities in their efforts to turn a new leaf. 

 

In the event, Hong Kong Ocean Park provided job opportunities for the teenagers. Director of Learning and Development of the Ocean Park, Miss Fu Yik-man, briefed the teenagers on the techniques of managing the flow of visitors and dealing with guests. Under the Ocean Park's training scheme, trainees are paid part-time employees. Those with good performances have a chance of being employed as long-term staff on completion of training. Miss Fu encouraged the teenagers to get equipped and seize the opportunities of participating in career counselling and in-service training. 

 

Through the career talk, the teenagers got a better idea of a working environment and their career inclination. Upon conclusion of the talk, they registered as temporary staff with the Ocean Park.
