Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation - Standard Chartered Youth Creative Industry Employment Scheme

Organised by Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (HKYAF) and powered by Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, The Standard Chartered Youth Creative Industry Employment Scheme provides employment opportunities for youth graduates to jumpstart their creative careers. Divided into three strands – Seed Funding, Creative Apprenticeship Programme and Theatre and Technical Arts – the scheme helps participants learn valuable skills and build networks by working alongside independent creative professionals and organisations.
