The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, visited the Government Career Fair at the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) this afternoon (October 2) with the Pro-Vice-Chancellor/Vice-President (Education) of the university, Professor Irwin King, and encouraged university students to learn more about the work of various government departments and the employment opportunities offered by the Government for young people based on their interests, so they can plan their careers early.

     The Government is holding a joint recruitment for Administrative Officer (AO) , Executive Officer II (EO II), Assistant Labour Officer II (ALO II), Assistant Trade Officer II and Management Services Officer II (MSO II). Mrs Yeung called on persons who meet the relevant entry requirements, including university students graduating in the year of 2026 or 2027, to seize the opportunity and apply through an online application system on the Civil Service Bureau (CSB) website (www.csb.gov.hk/english/admin/grade/ao/447.html) on or before tomorrow (October 3).

     This is the third year that the CSB has co-organised the fair with the CUHK to provide university students with practical, one-stop recruitment information. Students can also ask questions to serving civil servants from various grades on the spot. Mrs Yeung said, "When I chatted with visiting students, some mentioned that they only realised the wide range of employment opportunities the Government offers young people after visiting the fair. They learned that there are diverse options including jobs requiring generalists and some others demanding specialists, and positions in the disciplined services. The fair deepened their understanding of the work, requirements, and career progression pathways of the departments. It's a win-win-win situation for the Government, students, and the university."

     Twenty-four government departments jointly introduced the work and recruitment arrangements of over 50 grades to students at the fair, including AO, EO II, ALO II, MSO II, Statistician, Engineering Graduate, Telecommunications Engineer, Town Planner, Pilot, Labour Inspector II, Occupational Safety Officer II, Health Inspector II, Liaison Officer II, Technical Officer, Analyst/Programmer II, Assistant Information Officer, Assistant Programme Officer, Assistant Curator II, and education-related posts, as well as various positions in the disciplined services. In addition, some departments, such as the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, the Inland Revenue Department, and the Legal Aid Department, also conducted recruitment talks for the students.
