【Event Introduction】

The Construction Industry Council (CIC) established the Construction Industry Council Youth Affairs Committee (CICYAC) at the end of 2022 to set the future direction for the development of young people in Hong Kong's construction industry. CICYAC organizes various activities for young people in the construction industry, allowing them to showcase their talents, enhance their competitiveness, and cultivate them into a new generation of visionary, creative, responsible, and positive-thinking construction professionals in Hong Kong.

Since 2023, the Construction Youth Exchange Programme in Greater Bay Area has been organised by CICYAC for three consecutive years and the results are remarkable. In 2025, more than 90% of the participants were satisfied with the overall arrangement of the event, and all participants expressed that they would recommend the exchange programme to their relatives and friends, and were willing to share their experiences, feelings and gains. 

In light of the success of the past three years, CICYAC will continue to organise the exchange programme during the summer of 2026 for Hong Kong students and young construction professionals, aiming for two-way exchanges. In addition to arranging visits for Hong Kong students and young professionals to the Greater Bay Area, CICYAC will also invite mainland students to Hong Kong for exchanges.
