Secretary for the Civil Service Paul Tang visited Tong Fuk Correctional Institution today on Lantau to learn about its vocational training and rehabilitation services.
Mr Tang visited the timber formwork skills workshop which helps to supply much-needed manpower for the construction industry, and provides promising jobs for inmate trainees to help them re-join society upon their release.
He toured a food and beverage training centre, which helps inmates obtain qualifications and improve their employability.
He also met the department's staff to learn about their work and expressed his appreciation for their efforts.
