EOC Chairperson Mr. Raymond Tang is the second mentor of the 2009/10 Career Challenge Youth Mentorship Programme. Students from different secondary schools pose for a group photo before the sharing session begins.

Mr. Tang explains the meaning and importance of equal opportunities to his audience, “We are from different backgrounds and of varying abilities. Everyone is unique. We have to ensure access to equal opportunities so that everyone could achieve full potential.”

The mentees find the work of conciliation interesting and they want to know how to become a good conciliator. Mr. Tang says that it is of utmost importance to maintain an impartial role and to listen to the explanation and views expressed by the complainants and respondents. A conciliator should also be objective and independent.

Mr. Tang shares his experience of charting life into 3 phrases. He has used his first 25 years to study hard; the second to work hard to build a career; and the third to reap the harvest and also pay back to the community.
