The project will see the Government collaborate with 16 major companies to provide 250 internship places on the Mainland and overseas for Hong Kong undergraduate students.
Mr Cheung said the programme will promote a positive outlook on life and independence of mind for young people.

"A lot of these corporations are rooted in Hong Kong ? their operations actually cover the entire Mainland and also various other places.
"Those going to the Mainland, it is not just for a sense of national identity, but also to broaden the outlook, to nurture independence of mind, and also to encourage them to mix with people on the Mainland.
"We are talking about going out of Hong Kong, broaden your horizon, see the world, not only the Mainland but also outside the Mainland."
Thirty internship places are overseas, including Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and the UK.
The remainder are in Mainland cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu.
The internship will run from May to August this year.
