SHKP stands by young people by supporting the government-initiated Strive and Rise Programme. This year, the company nominated about 250 colleagues to become "mentors" in the one-year programme, supporting the growth of the mentees by helping them discover their interests and potential and formulate a personal development plan. 

Tam Chi-seng (CS) of Construction Department is the mentor of Ka Fung, a junior secondary student. CS is a genuine and cheerful person. As most young people tend to be timid during puberty, CS initiated interaction with Ka Fung and took him to visit various places and attend different activities in his leisure time. They developed a trusting relationship, and Ka Fung shared his dream of becoming a chef. 

To help his mentee pursue his aspiration, with the assistance of the Internal Affairs Department, CS arranged for Ka Fung to visit the kitchen at company headquarters to learn about what a chef does. Sunny and Ah Wa, who are responsible for Chinese and Western cuisine, respectively, shared their work experience and stories and put on a cooking demonstration. Ka Fung was impressed and recorded the demonstration for future reference.  CS believed that Ka Fung will come across various work opportunities when he grows up. Through this experience, he hoped that Ka Fung could enhance his knowledge about working as a chef and enrich his life experience. CS also told Ka Fung that many seniors, like the mentors and other SHKP colleagues, are passionate about supporting young people and helping them map out their future.

Ka Fung's mother expressed her gratitude to the company and CS for their care and effort for Ka Fung.
