New World Group has been placing great emphasis on the nurturing of local young people and actively supporting the all-round development of them. In 2007, the Group launched "New World Young Leaders" which promotes the exchange and integration of young people, and nurtures future leaders in Hong Kong and China.
In addition, NWD has established awards to support the academic research conducted by ethnic Chinese around the world and offered opportunities of training and artistic creation for young people, enabling them to develop their professionalism to contribute to the society.
New World Group is committed to nurturing the young generation. In 2010, NWD fully supported the "ACCA Hong Kong Job Hunting Competition 2010" organized by The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Hong Kong. After various assessments like debate and case presentation, the participants' language skills and problem solving skills were greatly improved. NWD has offered an internship placement to one of the participants, encouraging her to be well-equipped with business soft skills.
In 2009, NWD fully supported the "ACCA Hong Kong Business Competition 2009", organized by The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Hong Kong. Held on 21 November 2009 at Youth Square, the Competition invited students to develop a business proposal for organizing an International Youth Festival at there, aiming at equipping the participating students with thorough analytical skills, business proposal writing skills and presentation skills.
New World Group has been dedicated to nurturing the younger generation as tomorrow's leaders. This was our third year to join the School-Company Partnership ("SCP") organized by the Young Entrepreneurs Development Council. The Group was paired up with Tuen Mun Government Secondary School and San Wui Commercial Society Secondary School in the past two years and Man Kiu College is its current partner-school. Apart from company visits, the Group has arranged a number of career-oriented seminars to the students.
Management from various backgrounds such as Corporate Communication, Accounting and Finance, Training and Development, have shared their experience with the students. The Group hopes to inspire them with our own experience, give them a clearer picture of the business world, equip them with interview skills and help them find the career path that best suits them.
NWD's Hotel Division has shared its strong belief in its corporate philosophy of people and youth development. This year, the Hotel Division joined hands with The School of Hotel and Tourism Management of The Chinese University of Hong Kong ("CUHK") in the Summer Internship Programme. NWD offered internship opportunities in six hotels, including Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, Renaissance Harbour View Hotel in Hong Kong, New World Mayfair Hotel in Shanghai, New World Hotel Wuhan, Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel as well as Hyatt Hotel and Casino Manila. The three-month Summer Internship Programme commenced in mid May 2009. Students had the opportunity to rotate in various departments within the property.
The School of Hotel and Tourism Management of CUHK is one of the most prestigious hospitality programmes in the Asia-Pacific region. By sponsoring its students, NWD strongly believes that it provided a valuable opportunity for the students to excel their skill set and broaden their exposure outside the school environment. It was also an illustration of the Group's continued dedication and commitment to the development of the hospitality industry in Hong Kong.
The Group sponsored all the operation expenditure, and encouraged staff attending mentorship training. The Group also provided job opportunities for the outstanding graduates upon completion of the programmes.
