DFS has been running a mentorship scheme with its partner school Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College since the beginning of the 2018/19 school year. 14 students have been matched with 7 dedicated volunteers from DFS’ various departments.  On 12 April 2019, the mentors organised a job shadowing programme for all mentees to have a taste of working life in the office.

The programme started with a guided tour of DFS Chinachem Store where students acquired basic knowledge of the retail industry.  They then followed their mentors to have an up-close look in a real work environment. All students were very excited and thankful for their mentors in providing such an invaluable opportunity. The programme ended with a sharing of the participating students on what they learned.
