Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme

The 2024 Greater Bay Area (GBA) Youth Employment Scheme, which is open for application year round this year, has been launched to encourage enterprises to offer jobs and hire Hong Kong young people to work in GBA Mainland cities, so as to foster their career development and the exchange of talent in the GBA. We write to seek your kind assistance to promote the scheme and the upcoming thematic job fair to your students and alumni.
