Graduates job subsidy to launch

June 17, 2020

The Environment Bureau today announced that a subsidy programme for graduates will be launched under the Green Employment Scheme to subsidise private companies to employ fresh graduates. Applications will open on June 26.

 

The programme covers areas related to environmental protection, ecological conservation, green energy and energy conservation, climate change as well as sustainable development to provide job opportunities for graduates interested in environment-related fields.

 

About $24 million has been earmarked under the Anti-epidemic Fund for the programme to provide employers of fresh graduates with a monthly subsidy of $5,610.

 

The subsidy will form part of the monthly salary of each fresh graduate paid by their employers for a period of 18 months.

 

The subsidy programme will be implemented from 2020-21, covering more than 200 jobs.

 

The Environmental Academy of the Environmental Protection Department will also collaborate with professional societies and organisations to provide graduates with professional training.

 

Private companies can download the application form here. They should submit their applications together with supporting documents from June 26 to August 28.

 

Call 2835 1870 or send email for enquiries.

 

Additionally, among the over 500 time-limited jobs created under the Green Employment Scheme covering three categories of environmental protection work, recruitment for more than 100 jobs commenced in late May and early this month.

 

The feedback has been positive with more 5,000 applications received.
