********************************************************************************
     The Labour and Welfare Bureau (LWB) and the Labour Department held the appreciation ceremony of the Talent-Wise Inclusive Job Fair at TungPo of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in San Po Kong today (June 26) to show appreciation to all participating recruitment organisations for their active support in building inclusive workplaces.
 
     The Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Ho Kai-ming; representatives of the eight social service organisations under the eConnect Employment Network, the supporting organisation of the job fair, namely the Baptist Oi Kwan Social Service, the Hong Kong Blind Union, the Hong Kong PHAB Association, the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council, Richmond Fellowship of Hong Kong, SideBySide, the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation, and the Hong Kong Society for the Deaf; the Commissioner for Rehabilitation of the LWB, Mr Fletch Chan; and the Assistant Commissioner for Labour (Employment Services), Ms Jade Wong, officiated at the ceremony. Representatives of various participating organisations also attended. More than 40 organisations, ranging from small and medium enterprises to large-scale corporations, participated in the two-day job fair, offering over 700 job vacancies from various industries covering information technology, finance, transport, catering, hotel, property management and social welfare, providing employment opportunities to various types of persons with disabilities.
 
     Speaking at the appreciation ceremony, Mr Ho expected that the two-day inclusive job fair could provide a convenient platform for talent and job matching, opening up new means for employers to recruit talent and allowing job seekers with disabilities to connect directly with diverse industries and showcase their talents. He also appealed to the community to actively participate in and support the "Caring Employer" medal under the Diverse Abilities · Inclusive Workplace Recognition Scheme, to promote workplace inclusion and enhance employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.
 
     To commend employers who actively engage and support persons with disabilities and foster inclusive workplaces, the LWB has launched the Diverse Abilities · Inclusive Workplace Recognition Scheme on the basis of the existing Talent-Wise Employment Charter, and collaborated with the Jockey Club Collaborative Project for Inclusive Employment funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to jointly take forward the "Caring Employer" medal. The medal features different categories, covering large corporations, small and medium enterprises, social enterprises/public organisations, and more. The medal is open for application until July 4. Details and application methods have been uploaded to the LWB's website (www.lwb.gov.hk/en/highlights/charter_scheme/s4.html).
