SHKP has been running the Modern Apprenticeship Programme with Breakthrough since 2003. The programme nurtures the growth of young people and helps broaden their future. Various new elements have been added to the programme this year to meet changing needs, ensuring that the younger generation can explore the world at ease to create their own future. 

There are 20 young participants in the Modern Apprenticeship Programme 2019. At the programme's kick-off ceremony, SHKP Executive Director Adam Kwok said, "It is best to explore our aptitudes while young. So this year, the programme has expanded its target group to students aged 16 or above to help them find their aspirations earlier for better life planning." 18 colleagues from different SHKP departments and subsidiaries will mentor the young people by sharing work-related knowledge during the apprentices' four-week internship. The programme also allows the apprentices to 'explore' and 'put into practice' what they have learned; for example, apprentices will work as interns in different NGOs and visit social enterprises to broaden their horizons. Under the mentors' guidance, the apprentices will be encouraged to set goals and work towards achieving their dreams.
