The government’s dedication lies in establishing platforms that empower young individuals to articulate their views and evolve into proficient professionals. Secretary Ao emphasised that the collaboration with CMG is poised to create additional internship and job prospects for students in Macao, enabling them to gain deeper insights into the national developmental landscape. This strategic partnership aims to equip the youth with invaluable experiences, nurturing their understanding of the broader socio-economic fabric and propelling them towards becoming proactive contributors to the advancement of Macao.
