The Problem
In our daily direct communications with our service users and through our projects, we have observed the ethnic minority youth and job seekers need assistance in job hunting – ranging from career planning, CV writing, cover note writing, and interview skills, to how to communicate with colleagues and external stakeholders professionally. Recognising the gap in the employability capacity in the community, The Zubin Foundation launched the Online Training Academy in October 2020.
Our Work
Our Online Training Academy is a platform providing free training for ethnic minority youth. The modules help hone specific work-related skills of for those in university or in the early stages of building their career. The trainers are corporate volunteers who provide this one-on-one training on the following topics:
| Employability | Language | Soft-Skills | Mental Health |

Since 2019, 796 ethnic minority individuals and 528 corporate volunteers have participated in the project, with over 1,700 sessions organised by The Zubin Foundation.

“My name is Bobby. I was born and raised in Hong Kong. I live in public housing. I spent months applying for part-time jobs, but interview calls never came. Frustration and self-doubt weighed me down. The Zubin Foundation understood my challenges and directed me to their Online Training Academy. I attended sessions to improve my CV and enhance my interview skills. When my confidence wavered, Talha, at The Zubin Foundation, was like a big brother. He advised me on education and career choices. After the training, things changed dramatically. I felt better prepared and more capable. And guess what? I landed a part-time job at a social service NGO. I can't thank The Zubin Foundation enough. I am also grateful to The Zubin Foundation donors, you have been my bridge to achieving my goals.”
