The Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme (the Scheme) offers you an opportunity to broaden your horizon and explore a new career pathway in the Mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area (GBA)!
The Government launched the pilot Scheme in 2021 and gained very favourable feedback from both the participating enterprises and young persons. To foster career development of young persons and the exchange of talents in the GBA, the Labour Department regularised the Scheme since 2023 to encourage more enterprises to engage Hong Kong young persons to work in the Mainland cities of GBA.
The 2026 Scheme is now commenced. Enterprises with businesses in both Hong Kong and the Mainland cities of GBA to employ Hong Kong young persons in accordance with Hong Kong Laws and station them in the Mainland cities of GBA to work and receive on-the-job training, may apply for allowance equivalent to 60% of the young persons' monthly salaries with the limit of HK$12,000 per month for a period of up to 18 months.
Eligibilities
Participating young persons must be Hong Kong residents aged 29 or below with educational attainments awarded by higher education institutions within or outside Hong Kong at sub-degree level or above and are legally employable in Hong Kong and the Mainland.
