Many young people in Hong Kong face challenges in identifying their strengths and charting a meaningful path from school to career. Pursuit of X (PoX), initiated by The D. H. Chen Foundation and CoCoon Foundation, is designed to address this gap. The programme combines values-driven life exploration with cross-sector collaboration, serving as an end-to-end youth development ecosystem that guides participants through self-discovery, career exploration, and ultimately, real-world readiness. 

Building on the success of its debut, the next chapter of PoX — launching at the end of 2025 — introduces a hybrid model powered by cross-sector collaboration, blending immersive experiences with innovative technology. This evolved version merges PoX’s proven approach to personal and values-based growth with MatchBox, an online life and career exploration platform co-created with CoCoon Foundation. Through partnerships with schools such as Elegantia College, Po Leung Kuk Ma Kam Ming Secondary School and ⁠Concordia Lutheran School, alongside companies including BNet, ShipAny and WeExpand, it provides young people from different backgrounds with equitable access to diverse career insights and real-world opportunities.

Targeting youth aged 15 to 25, the programme integrates technology, experiential learning, mentorship, and reflection to foster a sense of purpose and personal agency. Through its Four-Phase Journey, participants gain the mindset and skills to lead with empathy and authenticity:

• Self-Discovery: Guided assessments and reflective workshops help participants uncover their strengths, values, and aspirations.
• Career Exposure: Company visits, industry panels, and networking sessions broaden career horizons and build essential professional skills.

• Deep Engagement: Intensive mentorships, internships, and transformation camps strengthen resilience and translate learning into action.

• Reflection: A digital platform allows participants to document experiences, celebrate milestones, and revisit earlier insights as their goals evolve.

By nurturing values-driven careers, authentic connections, and compassionate leadership, PoX empowers young people to act with purpose in an ever-changing world. The Foundation believes that through this transformative journey, participants not only prepare for a fulfilling career but also contribute to building a more compassionate and sustainable society —  redefining what success means for this generation.
