This program aims to connect migrant workers with opportunities to learn from top education partners, including NGOs, companies, and university professors. The classes are both online and in-person, with the latter being held at The University of Hong Kong (HKU).
The program ensures participants have exposure to practical knowledge necessary to improve their own lives, and also their employers’ well-being. We additionally focus on aspirational knowledge that makes life beautiful and worth living - literature, arts, culture, etc. We aim to help students prepare for the future, whether in domestic work, a different career field, or even as an entrepreneur.
