NYC administers training grants for YEP, the YEP Training Grant and YEP Sector Development Grant where the sector can exercise freedom in tapping into the relevant funds for their respective initiatives. Example: Organising workshops or activities to upgrade the sector's skills & capacity.

Apart from funding support, YEP also encompasses many platforms where practitioners in the field can share with YEP teams so that they are gainfully prepared for their local engagement projects and overseas expeditions.

YEP has also engaged a network of experienced training providers with a range of expertise to provide a holistic training curriculum that our YEP participants, project leaders can benefit from.

(Leaders are advised to attend the training course before the overseas reconnaissance trip).
