The Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme

The Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme

The Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme has been launched by the government to encourage and support young people to work and pursue their careers in the Mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area ("GBA").

The scheme will provide 2 000 places, around 700 of which are designated for innovation and technology (I&T) posts. Under the scheme, the graduates employed will receive a monthly salary of no less than HK$18,000. The Government will grant a monthly allowance of HK$10,000 to enterprises for each graduate employed for up to 18 months.

To join the scheme, eligible graduates should be Hong Kong residents lawfully employable in Hong Kong and hold bachelor's degrees or above awarded locally or by institutions outside Hong Kong from 2019 to 2021. For I&T posts, eligible graduates, besides meeting the above-mentioned criteria, should possess degrees related to science, technology, engineering or mathematics subjects. They should work in both Hong Kong and GBA Mainland cities, with each location taking up six to 12 months.
