The Youth Employment and Training Programme (YETP) of the Labour Department and Radio 2 of Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) jointly present a new radio drama “A Moment to Fly II”, as a sequel to the radio drama “A Moment to Fly”. The radio drama consists of seven short stories adapted from the real-life experiences of some awardees of the YETP Most Improved Trainees 2020, including CHEUNG Yee Ho, Jack, Hair Stylist Assistant; CHAN Chau Wa, Becky, Assistant Foreman Apprentice; HO Chun Wing, Account Clerk; Gurung Karishma, Teaching Assistant; WONG Kong Chung, Rico, Technician Apprentice; CHENG Mei Kuen, Amy, Building Supervisor; and HO Hugh Tung, Iris, Barista.

We hope the radio drama “A Moment to Fly II” could encourage young people who might sometimes feel lost in pursuing their dreams that with courage and persistence to try, they could all take flight on their own pathway and realise their dreams.
