Entrepreneurship: Hong Kong to hold seminar to help youngsters start their own business

This is the sort of thing I like to see.

In Hong Kong, youngsters are being offered assistance to start their own business by the Trade & Industry Department and Federation of Youth Groups. At a seminar starting on January 18, young people wishing to establish a business will be given tips for business start-ups and introduced to support and services provided by the Government and youth work organisations

What a shame I can not report more such stories - especially from countries where all too often, widely perceived and incorrect stereotypes cause youth to be treated like second class citizens.
