Labour Department launches new e-platform to strengthen employment support for job seekers with higher education
******************************************************************************************
A spokesman for the LD said, "Job seekers with higher education, in particular Hong Kong students who were educated in tertiary institutes outside Hong Kong, the second generation of Hong Kong emigrants who are interested in working in Hong Kong, as well as persons from overseas with higher academic/professional qualifications, may enhance their understanding of the Hong Kong employment market as well as search and apply for suitable job openings through this new dedicated webpage. Local job seekers who are degree holders are also welcome to use this e-platform."
The e-platform has three major parts, namely "Job Search", "Employment Information" and "Sharing Zone". Job seekers may search for suitable vacancies through "Job Search", and submit applications direct to the relevant employers if they fulfil the job requirements. "Employment Information" provides job seekers with relevant information on the local working environment, including an overview of employment in Hong Kong, key industries, immigration guidelines and working visa application procedures, qualification requirements of selected occupations, civil services vacancies, labour legislation, taxation, employment services in Hong Kong and so on. "Sharing Zone" is a message board to allow visitors to bring up employment-related questions, supplemented by a wealth of frequently asked questions.
Employers who are interested in posting job vacancies with academic requirement of bachelor's degree or above on the e-platform are welcome to contact the LD's Higher Education Employment Office by email to jobs@hee.gov.hk or by calling 3427 8155.
