Annual Report 2021

79 2021 Annual Report Transport International Holdings Limited Joining Hands to Embrace Social Inclusion KMB and Hong Chi Association (HCA) have joined hands to foster a business-school partnership to take students out of the classroom. Students are given more opportunities to showcase their talents, which helps them integrate into society and equips themselves to enter the job market after graduation. Through KMB’s Customer Service Centre at the Tuen Mun Road Bus Interchange (Tuen Mun-bound), students are able to show their art installations and sell their handmade decorations and accessories to the public. We have also provided on-the-job training courses for students on cleaning, cashier and shopkeeping services. The Café1933, a staff coffee shop, offers retail placements as well as food and beverages for students. Under the partnership, KMB has also recruited graduates to clean bus compartments at depots and help with office gardening and greening. KMB is using its resources in many different ways to benefit and nurture the youth, including donating retired buses under the Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme. Students’ placements and training opportunities are fewer under the pandemic. KMB has provided a multi-platform and placements for students to participant in animation production, show their artistic creations and improve their retail skills. Students are satisfied to have a chance to show their creations to the public. The interactive process helps students develop and unleash their potential. It is good for them to have pre-work experience. Mr Yuen Hok Sum Principal, Hong Chi Morninghope School, Tuen Mun CASE STUDY
