The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) has set up a Departmental Mentoring Team which collaborates with participating secondary schools in launching the Mentorship Programme focusing on career aspiration and training. The programme comprises a series of workshops and career-focused activities that provide useful career information for students (mentees), with a view to helping them better understand their interest and set their life goals under the guidance of mentors.
In the 2024/25 academic year, the Departmental Mentoring Team organised four school activities for Buddhist Hung Sean Chau Memorial College, Stewards Pooi Kei College and St. Paul’s Secondary School respectively, involving a total of about 43 mentees. The Departmental Mentoring Team also arranged the mentees to visit the C&SD Headquarters to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the government statistical work.
