Many YOUNG people find a job during the summer holiday to earn some extra cash, but a group of pupils have taken it a step further.
The Form Three students, who took part in an educational programme organised by The Boys' And Girls' Clubs Association of Hong Kong, have set up their own business.
The scheme, entitled We Web Wet, aims to offer vocational training and business opportunities to Form Three students and participants in the Youth Pre-Employment Training Programme, which was set up to help school leavers.
Tammy Ng Sau-mei of CCC Yenching College and eight of her classmates used the experience to open a store selling T-shirts and accessories designed and made by the students themselves.
Like all participants in the programme, Tammy had five days of training at a toy store in Shamshuipo.
Other participants had the chance to work in salons, photo developing shops and churches.
The money they earned was used as capital to open their own shops. On the first day of business, Tammy's booth in Tai Po Centre made more than $200.
