Life Buddies

Cathay Pacific has been participating in the “Life Buddies Mentoring Scheme” – an initiative launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Commission on Poverty in 2016. The scheme helps disadvantaged young people in Hong Kong develop life skills and get a head start in the working world through personal mentorship. Twenty Cathay volunteers from across the business have been sharing their personal growth experiences and career inspiration with 22 high school seniors and have organised developmental workshops ranging from resumé writing, mock interviews, and career planning, to mental health and stress management. Despite restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the mentoring programme concluded successfully in early July, with a certificate presentation ceremony at Cathay City.
