Funded by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s Anti-epidemic Fund, The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (The Council) has initiated a “Professional Traineeship Programme for the Ethnic Minorites” to nurture a pool of young EM professionals in the social service and business sector. There will be 24 trainees deployed to 6-24 NGOs and 16 trainees to 8-16 business companies. Trainees’ salaries and MPF costs will be reimbursed by the Government between September 2022 and August 2023. 

In the social service sector, there will be centralized recruitment and centralized interview to shortlist the final 24 trainees by a selection board, which is made up of the shortlisted NGOs enrolled in the “Professional Traineeship Programme for the Ethnic Minorites.” For the sector’s concerted efforts, an Advisory Board, consisting of Chairpersons of Network on Ethnic Minorities Service, and Convenors of Working Groups, has been formed to advise on the Program.

Ethnic Minorities interested to work in Social Service Sector can apply for the traineeship program via an online or offline application form by June 20, 2022. Details, please refer to below.
