The GEG Youth Achievement Programme (YAP) established by Macau's Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd (GEG) has reached a significant milestone, celebrating 15 years of nurturing young talent. Since its inception in 2011, the programme has been instrumental in providing “diversified training and cross-sector exchange opportunities” to more than 3,600 individuals aged between 18 and 29.
The programme is conducted in collaboration with the Macau Management Association (MMA), focusing on three pivotal themes: “self-awareness”, “community care”, and “career development”. These themes collectively aim to foster holistic growth and prepare participants for a dynamic future.
Celebration of Past Achievements and New Beginnings
On January 22, GEG commemorated this milestone with a commencement ceremony to welcome new trainees into the 15th iteration of YAP. This thoughtful event was coupled with a graduation and award presentation ceremony for those completing the 14th edition, recognizing their achievements and contributions.
Philip Cheng, a director at GEG, reflected on the programme’s journey by stating: “Over the years, we have worked closely with MMA to build YAP into a dynamic platform that brings together diverse elements of learning and exchange.” His commitment underlines GEG’s dedication to fostering an environment that encourages young people to strive beyond their limits and achieve excellence.
Partnership and Commitment to Youth Development
The enduring partnership between GEG and MMA lies at the heart of the programme’s success. Tommy Lau, MMA council chairman, highlighted this collaboration by affirming, “MMA is committed to advancing the holistic development of local youth. Together with GEG, which shares our vision, we have co-organised YAP for many years, providing solid and diverse activities and training to help participants grow academically, professionally, and socially.”
Through this synergistic effort, the programme continues to provide invaluable growth opportunities that equip participants with the necessary skills and insights to excel both personally and professionally.
