Improved services for ethnic minority jobseekers and outreach teams for families in need are among proposed measures to help Hong Kong’s non-Chinese speaking communities.
She announced a slew of new measures to further strengthen support for minorities, including the Labour Department launching a pilot programme with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to provide employment services for jobseekers through a case management approach.
A government internship programme for university students from ethnic minorities would also be introduced on a pilot basis to enable them to gain work experience.
