Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) will participate in two job fairs to assist incoming talent in directly matching jobs with employers, facilitating their career development in the city. About 500 companies will take part in these job fairs, offering over 11 500 job vacancies.

To dovetail with national development strategies, "The Chief Executive's 2024 Policy Address" includes a specific chapter on building Hong Kong into an international hub for high-calibre talent with an aim to empower the high-quality development of Hong Kong as well as contribute to the development of new quality productive forces of the country. To this end, HKTE will support talent in pursuing development in Hong Kong by expanding its network of collaborative partners and co-organising job fairs with industries and employer organisations.

HKTE is participating in the Innovating Hong Kong - Global Talent Carnival Autumn 2024 at the AsiaWorld-Expo today and tomorrow (November 2 and 3). The event offers over 10 000 job vacancies for local and incoming talent, covering positions in technical support, business development, customer service, and graduate trainee roles.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the event, the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, reaffirmed the Government's commitment to assisting talent in pursuing development in Hong Kong. He said that both local and incoming talent will help enrich the city's talent pool, spur industrial development, and inject impetus for the long-term development of Hong Kong.

HKTE has established a sharing station at the event to invite industry experts to advise on job-seeking strategies and provide consultation services to help incoming talent integrate into the local community.

In addition, HKTE will participate in the Hong Kong Talent Recruitment Exhibition 2024 Autumn at Tsim Sha Tsui Community Hall next Friday (November 8). Participating companies are from various sectors, including real estate development, telecommunications, public utilities, and financial services, with an expected offer of over 1 500 job vacancies.

HKTE will continue to collaborate with industry partners, stakeholders, and government departments to provide comprehensive one-stop support services for talent, including co-organising at least 12 job fairs with the industries and employer organisations in 2025.
