GBA employment plan opens to HK graduates

More than 1,000 young people from Hong Kong have been employed on the Chinese mainland in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, following the trial implementation of a youth employment plan, according to labor and welfare authorities from the special administrative region.

The GBA Youth Employment Scheme, unveiled by the Hong Kong government in early 2021, aims to encourage and support young people from the SAR in their pursuit of careers in cities within the GBA.

More than 400 companies have provided 3,400 jobs for young people from Hong Kong since the trial began, according to Chris Sun, secretary of the Labor and Welfare Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
