********************************************************
A total of 34 officer trainees and 53 recruits participated in the Parade. The graduates came from diverse backgrounds, including tertiary students and members of the disciplined services, education, social welfare, and medical sectors. They will apply their acquired knowledge and skills to serve society.
Mr Yeung presented awards to outstanding officer trainees and recruits. The graduates also performed a rescue demonstration to showcase their learning results.
Speaking at the Parade, Mr Yeung said that the CAS has been working closely with the Fire Services Department (FSD) over the years. Not only have the CAS been sending their members to attend trainings organised by the FSD, but they have also actively participated in inter-departmental rescue operation exercises and public education activities.
Mr Yeung also mentioned that loving the country and Hong Kong is a core value of the city's society and an essential foundation for the successful implementation of the "one country, two systems" principle. He added that the graduates' strong commitment to serving Hong Kong forms an indispensable part of the efforts to maintain the city's prosperity and stability, safeguard national security and uphold the "one country, two systems" principle. He encouraged all graduates to learn from their experiences, face challenges with determination, stay true to their original aspirations, and strive forward. He said he firmly believes that they will unite, work hard, and grow stronger together, upholding the CAS pledge of "Provide Emergency Relief, Serve the Community" to wholeheartedly serve the public.
The CAS Recruit Training Certificate Programme has been recognised under the Hong Kong Qualifications Framework as meeting the accreditation standards at Level 3 by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications. Graduates will be awarded the Certificate in Auxiliary Forces Basic Training (Civil Defence).
