Key components：
  • Recruit golden-aged people (aged 50 or above) and AFC Ambassadors as interns to take part in pre-job trainings, covering areas on understanding the types of dementia, its causes, symptoms and assessments, as well as dementia treatment via different activities.
  • Arrange a 16-week internship (6 hours per week) for the interns to work at various elderly service units in Sha Tin, such as District Elderly Community Centres and Neighbourhood Elderly Centres. The service units will provide a minimum of two sessions of supervision per month for the interns to enhance their working skills.
