Youth Employment Start (Y.E.S.), funded by HKSAR Government’s Labour Department, is intended to be a one-stop employment platform where young people will find support to meet their different employment needs, to enhance their employability as well as to facilitate their sustainable development in employment. Upon the invitation of The Evangelical Church of Hong Kong, Operating Organization of Y.E.S.’s Kwai Fong Centre, David Pun designed and conducted a two-session workshop in the “Self-Employed Series” on marketing strategy and sales techniques for prospective self-employed youth age 15 to 29:

17 November 2008 (Monday) - Self-Employed Series Lesson 7 Sales Techniques

Both sessions were held in Y.E.S. Kwai Fong Centre from 19:00 to 21:30. Over 50 youngsters，many of whom already working full-time in various business sectors including apparel, electronic parts, manufacturing, IT, event management and entertainment attended these two sessions which aimed at equipping the participants with skills needed to succeed in different businesses as self-employed individuals
