Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung today met a delegation led by Huaqiao University Party Committee Secretary Prof Xu Xipeng at the Central Government Offices.

They discussed strengthening the publicity of information related to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's civil service recruitment to the city’s students attending the university.

Mrs Yeung said as more and more Hong Kong students opt for the Mainland to further their studies, government departments have stepped up their publicity and recruitment drives on the Mainland targeting Hong Kong students as well as organised talks to introduce the work of different civil service grades.

At the meeting, the Civil Service Bureau’s Director of General Grades Hermes Chan introduced the bureau’s General Grades Office Recruitment Centre which began operation in October last year.

He also gave an account of the progress on the year-round recruitment for the Clerical Officer, Clerical Assistant and Personal Secretary grades.
