SCS: Join the Government, build Hong Kong's future (with photos/video)
The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, today (September 11) officiated at the opening ceremony of the Government Career Fair at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) with the Provost and Deputy President of the university, Professor Lee Chun-sing, to launch a series of Government Career Fairs to be held at local universities. She toured the exhibition booths of various government departments and encouraged university students to join the Government and build Hong Kong's future.
Mrs Yeung said, as the largest employer in Hong Kong, the Government provides young people with different types and natures of career development opportunities. Last year, the Government held large-scale career fairs at three universities and received an enthusiastic response from students, with many of them visiting exhibition booths of different departments to obtain information and enquire about details. This year, the Government is stepping up its efforts by organising Government Career Fairs at 10 local universities from mid-September to early October. Highlighting that the work of the civil service was meaningful and challenging, she encouraged students interested in pursuing a career in the civil service to first understand their aspirations and interests, and plan early to equip themselves for the application process.
To deepen students' understanding of the work of different grades in the Government, 30 bureaux and departments of the government took part in the Government Career Fair at CityU today. Staff from the respective government departments answered students' questions on the spot while some departments gave careers talks. Many students visited the fair at lunchtime or during their break to find out more.
Today's career fair covered over 50 civil service grades, including Administrative Officer (AO), Executive Officer II (EOII), Assistant Labour Officer II, Government Counsel, Legal Aid Counsel, Engineering Graduate, Assistant Environmental Protection Officer, Government Chemist, Official Languages Officer II, Transport Officer II (TOII), Town Planner, Survey Officer, Accounting Officer II, Valuation Officer, Analyst/Programmer II, Assistant Programme Officer, Assistant Curator II, Liaison Officer II, and education-related posts, as well as various positions in the disciplined services.
Mrs Yeung added that the annual joint recruitment exercise for several graduate grades will be launched this Saturday (September 14) to recruit young talent and inject new blood into the civil service. University students who are aspiring to serve the community and contribute to Hong Kong, and are ready to take on challenges are welcome to apply, unleash their potential, and pursue their dreams. To further enhance e-government services, applicants should submit their applications through the online application system on the Civil Service Bureau webpage.
The joint recruitment exercise covers four civil service grades this year, namely AO, EOII, Assistant Trade Officer II and TOII. Undergraduate students who will graduate in 2025 or 2026 can also apply for the positions in advance this year. The deadline for applications is October 4. Candidates interested in the joint recruitment exercise must attain the requisite results in the relevant paper(s) in the Common Recruitment Examination and the Basic Law and National Security Law Test. For details, please refer to the Civil Service Bureau press release.
